Comment (by Roger Siddons <dizygotheca@…>):

 Issue 1.

 Stopping recordings from the Schedule Guide causes a race condition
 between recorder and scheduler. In the following log note the difference
 between stopping from Upcoming Recordings and stopping from the guide .
 Whilst not a problem here, I have seen cases where the recorder changes
 the recording status whilst the scheduler is in mid-run. Also the
 scheduler can restart a recording before the recorder has closed the
 existing one. The consequences are difficult to identify.

 Programmes on the guide have no hostname initialised (no need) but
 MS::DoHandleStopRecording uses the hostname to distinguish slave requests.
 Thus all Guide STOP_RECORDINGS are treated as slave requests meaning the
 recording status update & reschedule is invoked before the recorder is
 stopped, instead of afterwards.

 The following patch initialises hostnames for guide programmes to correct
 the message handling.
