I've been running Myth for a while (6 years?), but this database was
created about 7 months ago when I switched from a dedicated FE/BE
machine running KnoppMyth to a split FE/BE setup where the BE runs on
a non-dedicated Gentoo machine. Not sure how it ended up this way
other than the fact that I don't have UTF support enabled on that box
(at some point in the past, having UTF support enabled broke something
else, but I don't remember what).

The FE doesn't run Gentoo, it runs MiniMyth -- I _think_ all I need to
do is replace the 0.21 rootfs on the USB flash drive with the one
containing 0.22...
