Ok, so the latest status of this issue...

I've downgraded my system to MythTV 0.16 and the problem persists! 
Mythbackend just won't stay running.   I get no core dumps, and gdb 
doesn't seem to properly be able to handle mythbackend's threads.   I've 
tried the latest gdb and it works for a while, but ends up with the error:
"Cannot find thread <n>: invalid thread handle"

I've just now restore my entire system from a TrueImage backup from 
January (0.16).   If this fixes the problem, I'll try upgrading to 0.17 
again.   If that works out, then it must have been some other change 
that occurred in my system between then and now.   Possibly a Gentoo 
security or other update, something that happened when I installed my 
nvidia graphics card, or something else....

(fingers crossed)
