Comment (by deadletterfile@…):

 I am an idiot and a fool. Alas, the Internet is forever.

 I still hope the programmers will look at the QMutexLocker implementation
 in `ProcessEvents` as I believe this change has merit.

 However my original coding removed:
        if (match.description.length() >= ldesc.length())
             ldesc = match.description;

 from processdata.cpp. This worked well until a block of channel listing
 lost their program descriptions. The patch solution was no better and I
 have returned the above code to service. It appears a bad program
 description once broadcast by a channel, but later corrected, will likely
 not be correct in the Mythtv EIT program listings.

 I changed complex code in programdata.cpp before understanding it. I feel
 like further improvement in title/description mismatches can be made in
 programdata.cpp, and will make the attempt in the coming months. I still
 think I can contribute, but will be more careful and measured in my
 response.

 I apologize to the Mythtv community and especially the programmers.
