Just to make it clear: It's not *all* SL 6 installations which are
affected by this issue. I've been running my backend on SL 6.x since
SL 6.0 and I've never seen this issue. That means I've been running
the following MythTV branches: 0.24-fixes -> pre0.25 -> 0.25-fixes ->
pre0.26 and now 0.26-fixes on SL 6.0 -> 6.1 -> 6.2 -> 6.3.

I haven't done anything special when setting it up, I prefer keeping
the OS configuration as close to upstream (RHEL) as possible. In
regard to MythTV, then I'm doing a git checkout, configuring it with
"./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-libmp3lame" and compiling it. I
don't use any init-scripts or similar, I just run mythbackend as a
daemon from /etc/rc.local on system startup.

I have a few third party packages installed, some of which are used for MythTV:
fuse-curlftpfs-0.9.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
IMDbPY-4.7-1.x86_64.rpm
lame-3.98.4-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
lame-devel-3.98.4-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
libx264_118-0.118-17_20111111.2245.el6.x86_64.rpm
logitechmediaserver-7.7.2-1.noarch.rpm
perl-Net-UPnP-1.4.1-1.el6.noarch.rpm
qtwebkit-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
qtwebkit-devel-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
ssmtp-2.61-15.el6.x86_64.rpm
x264-0.118-17_20111111.2245.el6.x86_64.rpm
x264-devel-0.118-17_20111111.2245.el6.x86_64.rpm
yasm-1.0.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

Everything else is installed from the stock SL repositories, I don't
use any third party repositories.

dbus appears to be running:

If you want me to provide further details in order to track down the
differences, feel free to ask.

Best regards
Kenni
