[1.0RC3] XBMC keeps restarting

1. XBian checks if XBMC fails or crashes and auto-restarts it.
2. If point 1. fails you get a restart loop.

Little more technical:
It REALLY difficult to check if XBMC actually started properly. XBMC didn't implement this logic, so we hacked it in ourselves. That was what has changed in the latest versions. All packages involved need to be the right version to work or else you get conflicts between "XBMC started?" checks. If they are out-of-sync, it fails and you get the behavior as you described as the reboot loop.

I'm not sure of the exact method openelec uses, pid checking or something but it works flawlessly.
