The scheduling bug was not a part of MythWeb (MythWeb doesn't schedule 
recordings--it can be used to make recording rules, but doesn't actually 
schedule anything).  There is a bug in 0.19 that will surface for users 
of MySQL 5 where the scheduler will lose its connection to the 
database--at which point Myth (mythfrontend or MythWeb) will show there 
are no scheduled recordings.

The proper fix is to upgrade to 0.19-fixes, as Michelle suggested.
