I've seen this when my video portion of the hard drive starts getting full
(>90%). I'm using ReiserFS for the video file system. I'm using 0.15.1,
but I saw it in 0.16 also. I went back to 0.15.1 until 0.16 get's more
stable.
Keeping my HD < 90% utilized seems to work well for me.
The backend appeared to still be running, but when you do a "mythbackend
--printsched" it hangs without printing out the pending schedule.
