Every time I boot (which is often :) ).

Yep, it's there.

Yep, got one of those with non-zero n.

Well, it can't be a file *size* limit, because most of the files on
that NFS partition are >2 GB.  But something related to file size is
probably the culprit: perhaps myth isn't using the right syscalls to
update the file size when it goes over 2 GB?

FWIW, the last time my recordedmarkup table was corrupted, I had much
different behavior than I'm seeing now: ffw and rew would be very
slow, which isn't what I'm seeing here.  I'm willing to bet this is
*not* the problem, especially since every time I go back into the
recording, the length on the progress bar updates to the "current"
length but never gets longer until I quit viewing and go back in.

Have been running CVS since January.
