Mythbuntu installer crashes while configuring Mythtv

[iain MacDonnell]

Mythbuntu installer crashes whilst configuring Mythtv. This first happened on an old MacBook Pro, using the 32-bit ISO (for EFI compatibility), so I changed to a fairly modern Core-i7 PC and the 64-bit ISO, but it crashes at the same place.
