Chaintech Motherboard
Athlon XP 2000 Processor
256MB Memory
80GB & 120GB IDE Discs
PVR-250
Gentoo Linux
Running CVS as of last week

The problem started with version .13, continued into .14 and also into
the CVS.  As I came down this morning, I notice that it had done it
again, The only entries in the backend log were: 

2004-02-28 08:45:02 Started recording "The Sting" on channel: 1526 on
cardid: 1,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm out of ideas, and this is
really cutting into the usability of myth.
