I just restored mythconverg from a mysqldump I did prior to installing
0.17 and it worked successfully on the second try. I believe the fluke
I experienced was both myth frontend and backend running at the same
time, or something like that... maybe they where both doing BD
changes, and that didn't work so well. :) Used your advice and just
let mythbackend do the updates, and it was fine.

In my opinion, part of the auto-db-update process should be backing up
the DB before it touches it. Seems like the problem could be ugly if
someone didn't have a backup?... Although, I'm not sure how intensive
the db changes are and what things could go wrong. I just prefer to be
safer than sorrier. Then again, I suppose where not talking mission
critical data... ;)
