----------------------------------+-----------------------------
 Comparing libs/libmythtv/programdata.cpp in the 0.27-fixes and in the
 master shows that in master four fields have been added in DBEvent and in
 database table program.
 Of these four fields only one, field inetref, is used everywhere.
 The other three fields: season, episode and totalepisodes are not used in
 DBEvent::UpdateDB, starting around line 590, and in
 ProgramData::IsUnchanged, starting around line 1392.
 This is possibly a bug.

 Attached is a patch for programdata.cpp that also includes season, episode
 and totalepisodes in DBEvent::UpdateDB and in ProgramData::IsUnchanged.
 This compiles and executes OK on my system.

 However, my EPG does not use these fields as far as I know so I have no
 way of knowing whether this is really a bug that is now fixed or that
 there is a reason to why these fields were not updated.

 For reference:

 The field inetref has been added by the following commit from Karl Dietz
