I'm sure it probably is triggered by that, I just haven't had time to
look into it.  All I can say is that it is currently better than it
was a week or two ago.  Then, it seemed like the preview was being
regenerated every time the current item was changed in playbackbox.

I'm not doing anything explicitly to trigger it other than upgrading
SVN and restarting Myth every 1 or 2 days.  I suppose some, but not
all, regenerations could be explained by delayed commflagging.  For
example, just last night, I had some previews regenerated for programs
that were over a month old!
