Title:
  mythfrontend.real crashed with SIGSEGV in calloc()

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  I have been running Mythbuntu 10.04 on this same hardware for about
  two years and it was very stable.  A few weeks ago I upgraded to 12.04
  and also updated MythTV from .25 to .26.  Mythwelcome would crash on
  start about half the time, and I got a lot of crashes for the
  background processes like mythshutdown and mythpreviewgen.

  I decided to install from scratch, though I kept /home as is.  The
  crashes are less frequent now.  Mythwelcome/Mythfrotend start and
  operate normally for the most part.  I still occasionally get crash
  reports for mythshutdown and mythpreviewgen, but I can't get them to
  fail when run manually, so I've been having a hard time getting proper
  debug information with gdb.

  Given that I went from no problems to problems instantly after the
  upgrade, I don't think it is hardware failure, though it could be
  something buggy that just wasn't exposed before.  Mostly I'm just not
  sure what to look at next.  Any ideas?  What other information can I
  gather?

  This is the only really weird thing I see in the logs, but I haven't been able to figure out if/what kind of problem it is.
