I'm also on gentoo and have seen this too. Specifically I see this  
with mythtv-0.20_p11244 where as mythtv-0.20_p11163. But note that  
mythtv-0.20_p11163 is no longer in portage. So far I've only seen the  
backend crash when I've been pushing the front end. By this I mean,  
rapid watch tv -> exit out -> change settings -> watch tv -> repeat  
cycling as I troubleshoot other issues. :)

I also see nothing obvious in the backend log file but I haven't  
tried running it with increased verbosity yet.

Can you give me step by step screen clicks on how to replicate this?  
If you're directions are detailed I'll give it a try and let you know  
if I see the same.
