Switching between multiple fronends (simultaneously) leads to MythSocket error.

[pierre@…]

Whenver I use 2 frontends at the same time on one backend, the scond instance is influenced by the first instance when I close it. The error in the log reported is similar to the one already described in issue 3728. If this error occures, I need to restart the backend to get into sink again.

From the information reported. I think that the two frontends are using the same MYTHCONFDIR directory and hence the same "hostname".
