May not apply for 0.22.  They were just recent things I remembered 
seeing that I thought I'd refer you to.

There may have been some issues with mythshutdown in 0.22 which may or 
may not have been relevant--I really don't know.

I would, however, suggest trying 0.23-fixes instead of wasting time on 
0.22-fixes.  :)  I really don't remember what issues 0.22-fixes has/had, 
and there's not much interest in working on it.
