 While recording DVB programs (several cards, several recordings / card),
 sometimes recording status is not updated correctly when recording ends
 and thus recordings might be left for still recording status forever.

 This can be seen within MythWeb Upcoming recordings page. For example,
 right now (18.10.2008) MythWeb Upcoming page shows programs still being
 recorded with following dates:
  * 04.10.2008
  * 06.10.2008
  * 07.10.2008
  * 08.10.2008
  * 10.10.2008
  * 16.10.2008
  * 16.10.2008
 MythWeb shows the "Currently Recording: Edit" -button for these
 recordings. All these have been recorded and with correct end-time, so the
 recordings really are not still on-going. Not all the recordings have this
 problem, I haven't been able to figure out what causes this.

 Situation can be "solved" by re-starting backend. While updating backend
 frequently, this issue is not that visible. MythFrontend Upcoming page
 does not show these "old" on-going recordings, it seems that there is some
 filtering in place to skip old stuff. MythWeb could also be updated to
 skip old stuff, but that would just mask the actual problem. This has been
 happening for a long time (~year or more).
