I suspect a memory leak. 1. I started mythfrontend as user and switched to any channel. 2. CTRL-ALT-F1 to get a terminal. Logged in as root. 3. # swapoff /dev/hda2 to get rid of any virtual memory. 'top' shows 0 Bytes of vm. Good. The machine has 768 MB of "real" RAM. 4. # watch --intervall=1 vmstat The amount of free memory is permanently decreasing, starting at 300 MB. At ~70 MB the machine does a sudden reboot. Hm. I started mythfrontend from commandline with -v all and a small geometry (256x128), just to have room an the screen. See mythfrontend --help. I get LOTS of output each second. Is that normal?

This time tried "top" instead of "vmstat" in a different terminal window. Also here I can see the amount of memory permanently shrink. 6. This time I do NOT wait until the machine resets. I press ESC to leave TV-mode an return to the main menu. BANG. The amount of free memory raises up to the original value. Starting TV-mode again decreases memory. Stopping TV mode gives me my RAM back. Anyone can help? Brian, does this also happen on your machine?
