I think I may have found the problem. It appears that myth tried to make a
0.004 second long recording and then bombed when mythcommflag tried to run
on it.

Here is the output of my debug session.

			Run 'mythcommflag --file 1031_20060321220002.mpg
--rebuild' to fix

-------------------------------

As you can see, my #1 encoder tried to make a 0.004 long recording which is
too short to have a position map.

Any thoughts?
