[Bug 457890] [NEW] mythfrontend crash while stopping a recording

[Toby Murray]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

I have been testing Mythbuntu 9.10 for the past week or two and working
with the folks in #ubuntu-mythtv on some issues. I am up to date on all
packages as of the evening of October 21. (mythtv version
0.22.0~zrc1-0ubuntu1)

While playing around with lirc trying to get my remote tweaked,
mythfrontend crashed on me. I had been using my remote and was watching
a recording. However the stop/escape button on my remote wasn't working
because of a lirc config issue (it wasn't mapped in the mythtv lirc
config file) so I brought up the remote control in mythweb and clicked
the "Escape" button. The screen went blank and I expected a listing of
my recorded shows to re-appear. Instead it just sat there for maybe 15
seconds and as I was about to kill it via ssh, mythfrontend suddenly
vanished and I was left at the Mythbuntu desktop. Unfortunately I can
not seem to recreate this crash at will.

My goal was actually to restart mythfrontend to pick up the new lirc
configuration so I wasn't really annoyed by it but when I mentioned it
in IRC, Mario wanted me to test some crash reporting utilities (which
broke launchpad with a 50 MB upload) so here I am!

Attached is the stack trace generated by apport-retrace of the file
