Sounds like one of the mythtranscode fifos is coming unhooked from
whatever nuvexport is trying to do with it (in which case, it buffers
into RAM).  Helps to know what version of things you are using, but the
first step in figuring out what's up is to use --debug (instructions in
the mythtv wiki and linked from `nuvexport --help`).
