[mythtv-users] Frontend delete problems

Quite often, when I try to delete a recording from the frontend, the frontend loses 
communication with the backend. I usually have to restart both the backend and
frontend to get things working again. It usually happens while the backend is recording.

I searched gossamer, and there were only a couple of posts regarding this issue.
A conclusion from one of the threads was that it was a result of the via chipset. I
don't have via, I have a 440bx:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64
        Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 1.0

My system is a P2 450 with 384 MB Ram running FC2 2.6.8-1.521. Hauppauge PVR350 with a SB Live card.

One other suggestion was to verify the integrity of the database by running mysqlcheck. That didn't help.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to track this down?
