It has been doing that for a while.    I am on fedora 7 and the newer kernels 
started logging the improper segfaults of programs in the messages file, I would 
bet that mythfilldatabas has been segfaulting for a while (maybe a long while or 
possibly always) and since it was doing the job correctly no one noticed that it 
was segfaulting...until the kernel starting logging program segfaults in the log 
file.    I have been having several a day since around May 1, and so far the 
database appears to be properly updating the entire time, so whatever it is that 
is broken is not broken enough to be lethal.
