[mythtv] Mythcommflag orphaned when program is deleted while flagging in progress?

[Blammo]

I assumed that if commerical flagging was in progress, and you deleted
a program, then mythcommflag would die, somehow.

This doesn't appear to be the case.

Program started at 7:00pm, we started watching about 7:15pm.

By 8:00pm, we were almost caught up, and by 8:34 we were done, and had
deleted the program.

However at 9:02pm, mythcommflag was still running on the primary
backend. Unfortunately, I didn't put 2+2 together, and killed the
process before I GDB'd it or at least got a better log.

Commflag started here:
2005-02-22 20:00:48.218 Starting Commercial Flagging for "American
Idol" recorded from channel 2089 at Tue Feb 22 19:00:00 2005.
2005-02-22 20:00:48.227 commflag: Commercial Flagging Starting

We were done watching here:
2005-02-22 20:34:12.861 Changing from WatchingPreRecorded to None
2005-02-22 20:34:12.897 Changing from None to None

I killed it here:
2005-02-22 21:02:28.598 commflag: Commercial Flagging Aborted
2005-02-22 21:02:28.694 ABORTED Commercial Flagging for "American
Idol" recorded from channel 2089 at Tue Feb 22 19:00:00 2005.

And the file was/is indeed gone from the backend when I deleted it:

[root at backend1 tv]# ls -al 2089*
ls: 2089*: No such file or directory

So what was the commflag doing, and would it ever have died?
(Questions, I'm sorry I didn't get logs to answer)
