Hi,

I have SVN from about two weeks ago (7206 IIRC) and I'm getting the 
following log on the backend with -v commflag.

It seems there were some similar issues back in April, but they got 
fixed. This is a recording from a DVB card. There are no frontends 
running at the time. If I run a commflag manually, I get this:-

Aby ideas? Is it best to update to current SVN before pointing out 
issues like this?! I haven't noticed anything on the commits list that 
loks (to my untrained eye) like it would affect commflagging.

Cheers,

Jon
