[mythtv-users] mythbackend stability on SMP systems

A few years ago, I had to disable hyperthreading on my P4-based
production backend to keep mythbackend from segfaulting because of
non-threadsafety in Qt.  I kept SMP disabled when I moved my
production backend to an X2 system eariler this year since I wanted
reliablity more than I needed the extra CPU power.

I would now like to make use of that extra CPU power, so I'm curious
how stable mythbackend, both 0.2 and trunk, is these days on SMP
hardware.
