The backend segfaults when it is doing a job. The log shows nothing
suspcious, for example:

2005-01-21 22:00:02.663 Started recording "Battlestar Galactica" on channel: 106
8 on cardid: 1, sourceid 1
2005-01-21 22:00:02.690 Channel(/dev/v4l/video0)::SwitchToInput(): Setting video
 mode with v4l version 1 worked
2005-01-21 22:00:02.937 Changing from None to RecordingOnly
2005-01-21 22:00:04.668 Found changes in the todo list.
2005-01-21 22:00:04.814 Scheduled 12 items in 0.1 seconds.
2005-01-21 22:12:36.319 Transcoding /mnt/myth/recordings/1068_20050121200000_200
50121210000.nuv done

Then there was a segfault and everything died.

Mythfrontend does something similar, when switching between video
modes, it segmentation faults as well. If I go from livetv to a
recording, it segfaults.

The backend is a brand new Dell PowerEdge SC420 w/2.8 GHz P4 and 512MB
DDR2. The frontend is a homebrew machine with an Athlon XP 1700+,
512MB DDR, and FX5200.

I am using Arch linux, therfore the newest software for just about
everything. I can't compile myth 0.16, it doesn't seem to play nice
with the current gcc, but CVS completes the compile.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?
