Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv
New to 0.22 and Karmic, I have started getting too many file open errors with
my myth backend which is very disconcerting (it may be stopping my recordings).
The symptom is not being able to start watching live TV (the computer is a dual
backend + frontend)
When this happens, I see this in my mythbackend.log:

It seems that the problem is either in the backend or in the hdhomerun
libraries. Restarting the backend temporarily addresses the issue. The problem
seems to be occurring at least once a day.
I have attempted to change my number of open files for the mythtv group, but
that did not help
Snippet from /etc/security/limits.conf:
@mythtv hard nofile 65535
@mythtv soft nofile 65535
Max-files open:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
87309
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
4832 0 87309
I keep forgetting to run lsof before restarting the backend, but I'll attach
that next time it happens. This never happened to me while running Jaunty on
this computer.
