mythbackend hangs while recording

Description

I'm running trunk r21261 -- originally mytbuntu weekly build, but I rebuilt to get symbols.

I've had several situations where some portion of mythbackend becomes non-responsive while doing several back-to-back recordings w/real-time mythcommflag-ging. Then any job which needs to talk to the backend hangs. Sometimes it means I've got a generate-preview waiting, other times its a bunch of mythtv-status jobs, and mythweb always times out with some HTTP request error (sorry, I don't have the exact error -- i'll grab it next time). I've got a gdb.txt backtrace for the most recent one, this case was one with many hanging mythtv-status jobs. Please let me know anything I can do to help debug.

Oh, If I start mythbackend "--verbose all" it doesn't happen.

I upgraded to r21507 and this hasn't happened since.

My guess is one of the (many) MythSocket? changes fixed things. Feel free to close and I'll reopen with a new backtrace if it happens again.

dup #6516.

FYI It's not completely fixed yet, but it should now recover within a couple minutes. I'll ref #6516 when I commit the last of the mythsocket fixes.
