This isn't what you asked, but it seems to be ok for me, with a 
recording in progress, on the latest  (3Feb)  build from ATrpms.

'mythfrontend --version' gives
MythTV Version   : v0.24-155-g295abfb
MythTV Branch    : fixes/0.24

while the changelog for the mytvtv-frontend shows

2011-02-03  Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net> - 0.24-264
   - Update to latest git fixes (v0.24-150-g08a8a65).

..there's been a thread asking about the new versioning on  atrpms-users 
recently and it looks as if a bit more digging would be appropriate.  It 
looks as if five new commits sneaked in while Axel wasn't looking!

I'll also add that while I was writing this, with two recordings in 
progress, and checking the data in it, screen updating on the FE/BE box 
slowed to a crawl for several minutes while lots of disk activity 
occurred.  Worrying.  The TV recording has a corrupt section and I 
expect the radio one has too, although the  backend log suggests it may 
be after the section I wanted. AFICT all is back to normal now.

Query for Mike Dean - if he's reading this:  Does 'mythfrontend 
--version' count as a second instance of mythfrontend?
