[mythtv-users] Turning on Xbox 360 causes 100% cpu usage of mythbackend

Ok for the past few days I have been wondering why mythbackend has been
using 100% cpu usage constantly.

First I upgraded my xbox frontend to debian (xebian) sarge.  This upgraded
the protocol to 31 and my FC4 backend was at 30.  So I updated the backend
using atrpms to fix those issues, and that's when I started noticing the
100% CPU usage which would never stop unless mythbackend was restarted.  I
don't think I had these problems before the update to 144.

So this went on for a few days wondering how this was happening, it would
run for a while fine, then check top and see it is at 100% again.

Ok so I am able to reproduce the situation now by turning on the xbox 360 to
play games and watch mythbackend instantly go to 90-100% cpu usage on the
backend.  Anyone else seeing this?

Hardware:
Linksys router wrt54gs
Mythbackend (FC4 atrpms latest updates, mythtv-backend-0.20-144.fc4.at)
running on 192.168.1.100 static no firewall
Mythfrontend (xbox xebian, debian sarge using Christians packages) running
on 192.168.1.101 static
Xbox 360 static ip 192.168.1.104

Situations:
Happens with xbox frontend on or off
Happens with xbox 360 turned on with power button and wireless remote
100% cpu usage will not go away until mythbackend is restarted
Restart mythbackend while xbox 360 is still on and it doesn't happen
