This is a known issue on linux (not Windows though) which appears unable to handle the exceptions generated in the Services API. We need to move from using 'throw()' to a custom exceptions/error handling mechanism.

That said, we shouldn't be hitting the error handler unless bad data is being submitted to the Services API, so there is a second bug here. Best guess is that the start times are wrong for some reason, i.e. not correctly in UTC.

It appears that the times are correctly in UTC.

Validation via the DB

MariaDB [mythconverg]> SELECT chanid, starttime FROM program WHERE (chanid = 1161 AND starttime = '2014-06-16T22:00:00.000') OR (chanid = 1221 AND starttime = '2014-06-16T22:30:00.000');

It appears that only when multiple requests are in flight that the backend crashes.
