I've been doing Software Quality Assurance for a long time and there's  
nothing more frustrating then trying to track something down to find  
out that the problem has changed because someone forgot to mention  
they changed a setting on the test system. I'm not saying that is what  
is happening, but I'm saying you should avoid that potential problem  
by not changing stuff in the middle of tracking down a bug.

Ideally you wouldn't be tracking down a bug on a production system,  
either. But I guess that's another story - and the reason I leave  
MythTV QA to developers. :)
