Mythtvsetup v0.21 crashes during channel scan
While performing a scan for new channels with mythtvsetup, the following fatal error occurs:
mythtvsetup: xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed.
Googling the error indicates it is a thread concurrency issue. Use taskset to limit mythtvsetup to a single cpu/core:
# taskset -c 1 mythtvsetup
