mythbackend crashed with SIGSEGV in QString::QString()

[Aiden83]

Binary package hint: mythtv

While using the mythtv-frontend, the front-end froze and the crash was detected by apport.

I have not been able to watch tv yet with the front-end, I am still configuring.

Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by reporting this issue. I am closing this ticket for a combination of reasons:

1. It is missing symbol information needed to help debug the issue
2. There are no other reports of this issue
3. This ticket is quite old and the mythtv developers upstream have stopped focusing on 0.21 based reports
4. This would need to be reproduced on 0.22 with a new stack trace

If you can reproduce this on 0.22, please attach traces to a new ticket and we can try to forward this bug upstream to get the right eyes focused on it.

We have builds of mythtv 0.22 available on a PPA to test. Please follow the directions at http://mythbuntu.org/auto-builds to enable them.

WARNING: If you intend to revert back to 0.21 after testing, you will need to back up your database before upgrading.

    Thanks again!
