Thanks for the test.  I was just curious how much of a change there 
was.  The race condition doesn't take much timing difference at all to 
alter the outcome.  Unfortunately, until someone actually fixes the 
underlying issue (which is a large job--which may be done as part of the 
refactoring being done for the mythui OSD branch), you'll probably need 
to just apply the patch.
