    mythtv/setup/backendsettings.cpp  Search for JobQueueMaxSimultaneousJobs.
    There are 3 numbers on the line where the HostSpinBox is declared.
    The first is the minimum (needs to stay at >= 1), the second is the max,
    and the third is the step increment.

Thanks!  I'll add this to my queue of things to change if I decide to
recompile 1.18.1.

(I wish SVN wasn't protocol-incompatible with the stable release, and
that SVN had dangerous work done out on a branch instead of on the
mainline; if those two things weren't true, I could afford to at least
see if some of these issues might be fixed there, but with the current
situation, I'd need two dedicate a pair of machines just to SVN if I
also wanted to make sure I had a setup that worked reliably enough to
actually record with while also making sure the new configuration
worked, and I just don't have that much spare hardware... :)
