I connected to the myth box via ssh, opening 3 ssh sessions.

In the first ssh session I launched mythbackend inside gdb.

Then, on the myth box, I launched mythfrontend inside gdb.

On the second ssh session I did tail -f backend/myth.log.

On the third ssh session I did tail -f frontend/myth.log.

On the frontend, I went to Optical Discs -> Archive.

The frontend then froze. I waited between 10 and 15 minutes. Nothing happened. No new entries showed up in either log file.

I then killed both tails, and did a ps -A. Both the frontend and backend were still running. I then attempted to kill the frontend process. I waited about a minute. Nothing happened. I then did a kill -9 of the frontend process. The frontend then died. I then did a ctl-c on the backend gdb session, then quit the backend gdb session.
