Summary: Hang during startup

Initial Comment:
I've been a long time freevo user, and recently upgraded to 1.6.1. The 
autoshutdown in combination with nvram-wakeup is an amazing feature.

However, a bug which has been bugging me for many releases is still present: 
sometimes  freevo hangs at startup on the "Starting freevo, please wait" screen 
with the progress indicator around 80-85%.
As the system is now powering itself up to record a scheduled recording, this 
is more anoying than before (I could simply restart freevo in the past, but now 
the recording nor the shutdown after that doesn't happen).

I have development experience in other programming languages and something that 
"sometimes happens but not always" is typically a threading issue.

The keyboard attached to the machine seems stalled (numlock doesn't toggle the 
light, ctl-alt-f1 doesn't give me a console) but I can login over SSH and 
diagnose.

I have no idea how to debug python code... I have included some info that might 
be usefull. Hope a developer can have a look at this ? It's not very 
reproducible. I have set CHILDAPP_DEBUG to 1 now, to get more info next time, 
is there anything else I can try or should do to get more debug info ?

Some info

netstat -antp: gives amongst others
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:18001           0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      2082/python

I see three python threads from pstree -p
--python(2042)---python(2072)---python(2198)

cat /proc/2042/cmdline show's it's "python /usr/local/freevo/freevo"
cat /proc/2072/cmdline shows it's "python /usr/local/freevo/src/main.py"
cat /proc/2198/cmdline shows it's "python /usr/local/freevo/src/main.py"

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# strace -p 2198
Process 2198 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x804a670, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL

it simply hangs there waiting for "something" ?!
