#4000: Mythcommflag does not honor max commercial break setting / fails with long
commercial breaks

I've been suffering a weird behaviour of mythcommflag. It does a great job
detecting short commercial breaks (not longer than 6 minutes) but it
always fails whenever the commercial break exceeds 6:30 minutes (aprox.).
Here in Spain, broadcasters tend to insert looooong commercial breaks,
sometimes longer than 15 minutes.
I've read in ticket 880 (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/880) that there
is a max commercial skip of 3600 secs, that is, 1 hour. I've set that
value to 1200 (20 min) in the preferences pages in mythfrontend. This is a
fair value, even for Spain broadcasters.
However, when there is a "long" commercial break, mythcommflag only
includes in the cutlist the first 6:30 minutes, even though it almost
never fails when the break is short.
This behaviour happens with all the different commflagging methods,
experimental included.
I am using 14520 SVN version, but this has been happening for all the time
I've known MythTV (which is more than 10 months).
Thank you in advance
