Thanks for the tip, Mark.  I couldn't find anything obvious in the
settings table, however, using the MySQL Query Browser, I tried to find
any other tables that seemed mythweb related...

In the "mythweb_sessions" table I found a row that corresponded to my
user ID.  I deleted the row, and now I can login to mythweb again.

The setting that got me into trouble in mythweb in the first place was:

Settings->MythWeb->MythWeb Defaults->Enable a cache engine?->Unix Shared
Memory


I won't be choosing that setting again!
