I have now narrowed this down to a sigsegv in Qt code called from here in mythimage.cpp
bool MythImage::Load(const QString &filename) { if (filename.isEmpty()) return false; QImage *im = NULL; ***** if (filename.startsWith("myth://")) ****** This is reproducible but the large number of threads running at this time in the start up sequence (parallel loading of loads of theme images), make hard to analyse exactly what is going on. If anyone knows any easy ways of finding the actual data in QDataArrays in GDB please let me know.

Randomly mythfrontend exits before any gui is displayed. Because the shell exit status is one (process exit 0x100) the mythfrontend wrapper script does not try to restart. This appears to be some kind of race condition in the start up environment. Putting a 60 second sleep in the wrapper script appears to cure it. It appears that mythfrontend main.cpp is getting as far as launching the housekeeper but is exiting before the gui is drawn by the message loop. Has anyone else seen this?
