[mythtv-users] mythfrontend deletes settings when db connection is weak

HI!

For the second time, mythfrontend deleted my settings when somehow the
connection to the backend was unstable.

I don't know, why the connection was unstable, because my frontend boots
via PXE from the backend. And restarting mythfrontend solved the
connection problems. So, I guess it was no hardware problem.

I did some investigation and found out that mythfrontend deletes data
from the tables settings, displayprofiles, displayprofilegroups and
inuseprograms in such a case.

It's strange that mythfrontend thinks, that reading from the tables
fails, but still is able to delete data from the tables.
