Any progress on this issue/thread?

I just converted to HDHR's over the weekend, and now the backend
process, which has been up for WEEKS with no issues, has taken to
segfaulting several times a day.

mythbackend[15893]: segfault at 0000000000000008 rip 000000355e81e0e5
rsp 00000000504cfdb0 error 6

Sesame Street recorded this morning from 3:00am to 4:00 am. It's
automagically transcoded, which takes a little over an hour, and
mythbackend crashed at a few minutes after 5am this morning.

Sesame Street recorded this morning from 9:00am to 10:00am,
transcoded, and the backend segfaulted a few minutes after 11am.

To be perfectly clear, the ONLY change was the removal of an SBE w/PCI
tuners, and the addition of the HDHR. No other changes. Hours of HD
content recorded over the weekend, no issues.

 I'm very happy to supply any debug data as needed.. my WAF is going
to take a SEVERE dive if the backend is crashing multiple times a day.
(Thank goodness for the safetynet script)
