[mythtvnz] Memory leak and freezing at the end of most recordings in LiveTV

[Tim, Donna & Erin Gibson]

Yep... strikes me down now and then, I have more problems with TV3 for some 
reason!? My wife left the boxen running the other night and on TV2 and no 
lock up all night...

I'm using Gentoo with 2.6.14 and Myth 0.19, like you if it freeze just exit 
and back to live TV.  I've posted an email on this list (you'll find in the 
archives) showing what's happening, all memory, swap are used up then the 
kernel takes control and kills almost everything...

There are others having the same problem over in the users list and I think 
there was a fix for 0.19.1 but if your using the SVN version then maybee it's 
not fixed...

Pooo

Regards
Tim
