Mike,
thanks for the explanation & link. I quickly checked for any 'weird' 
characters in program descriptions et al within mythfrontend. Everything 
looks ok, most likely because I don't have anything non-latin1 here, only a 
handful of videos & recordings with non-ASCII characters (mainly Spanish & 
German).

I will follow Janne's advice (backup & test), and if the database gets 
corrupted I'll file a bug report.
