Yes, please! It's clearly a bug (one that didn't exist in 0.21), and
had the fix existed earlier I wouldn't have ended up blowing away four
years' worth of recorded programs' credits data in a futile effort to
fix what I believed was an artifact of the 0.21->0.22 UTF8
bungling.[*]

(I want to be clear here. The loss of historical credits is 100% my
fault. Nothing in MythTV today actually uses the data for anything
besides being able to show actors' names when DETAILS is pushed in
MythFrontend.

Still, it'd have been nice to have the data for the day when the PBB
offers some sort of search feature by actor's name. More to the point,
I wouldn't have ever ventured down the road of foolishness had this
bug (and its proximity to the 0.22 upgrade, which caused me to think
that the UTF8 mess was affecting my setup despite it not actually ever
doing so) not arrived with 0.22.)
