If you have a plugin or instance disabled, but still have config settings in the config.ini, then I have found a number of cases that cause it to crash. It's fixed in the next release, but check to see if you have anything disable, but still have settings in the config.ini. To test, go to the links page and click on each link while looking at the log, to see if an exception appears.
No, don't have anything disabled, but I haven't seen the issue today so I am fairly certain it was a memory issue.

I am trying to wrap my head around how that could happen. When you schedule a recording in Tvheadend, as far as I know it records for a specific amount of time. So if you schedule a two hour movie, it will record whatever is on that channel for two hours. I understand that if the stream ends then Tvheadend has to stop recording because there is nothing left to record, but won't that be considered an error by Tvheadend? Guess I'll just have to try it and see how it works. In any case I was wondering if there is any easy way to tell which channels are live, and which are VOD.

Would it be too much trouble to add a setting to not do that on a per-instance basis? I was not planning on using that 10,000 channel .m3u list but I may create a custom .m3u list that is a subset of that list, with a few hand-picked channels. That would be hand-edited, but of course in that case I would not have a XMLTV url, but I also may not want it trying to populate guide data for those channels. I won't know for certain until I see how it operates.

Well if I am having memory issues now, I don't think trying to process 10,000 channels would help that! So no, I'm not trying that.

This would be one reason it would be good to know if there is a way to tell which XUMO channels are live, and which are VOD.
Thanks again for your continuing work on this!
