No issues this time ...

That was more a pointer for someone in 6 months' time who has similar
issues with a crashed table, and who finds this thread via Google, and
who's first action is to truncate their "recorded" table, or their
"channel" table by following this advice, and then finds that their backup
isn't working properly, or is several weeks out of date, or any number of
other scenarios where they wouldn't be able to easily get back to a working
system.
