After tracing through the code, I've come up with the following patch (against
0.18.1) to fix the problem above:

Does this look to be on the right track?  Unfortunately, I don't have a test
machine and I've been told in no uncertain terms that I can't 'fiddle' around
with the lone myth box connected to the tv.  I was able to compile the code
cleanly, but wasn't allowed to install the new build. :-(
