I see now that the encoder reset was not while running MythTV; it was with 
gmplayer.  Sorry for misreading that.  So definitely an unlucky 
coincidence and so far we've never seen a hang in MythTV that in any way 
is connected to an encoder reset.  I'm fairly sure the two are unrelated 
and there's something else happening that we don't yet understand.

We still need a way to track this hang in something other than MythTV. 
The (really sucky) alternative is to start debugging the MythTV backend in 
an attempt to see why it is giving up - the log data shows the driver 
remains healthy the entire time so either this is a timing thing (which 
you've already suspected) or there is a latent bug in the MythTV backend 
which only now coming out to bite somebody.
