Well, the stall is not "permanent".  It fails to start streaming when
Mythtv starts a recording.  Since mythtv keeps doing select() if it
reaches the 5-second timeout, many times it will finally succeed 30-40
minutes after the first attempt, and then I get the remaining stream
without a problem.  Once it starts streaming, it never dies.  This
behaviour just doesn't make much sense to me if viewed as a power
glitch.

What I decided to do was stick with the current ubuntu driver, and set
debug=65535 for the module.  Hopefully I'll get it to die again...
