 When skipping forward, the displayed time breifly flashes to 0:00 before
 skipping forward to the time requested.  e.g. If I'm 1 min 40 secs into a
 program, and I skip forward 30 secs, then the display flashes 0:00 briefly
 before skipping forward to 2:20.

 That flash is not a big problem, but if you skip forward two times in
 quick succession (by, say, using the auto-key-repeat), then sometimes the
 second skip seems to catch myth while it is back at 0:00, and you'll end
 up watching from 0:30 rather than whereever you wanted to be.

 I've noticed this with r10995 and r10680.  I suspect that this might be a
 MacOS bug, but I'm not sure.  My normal Myth server's screen died
 recently, and so I'm using my Mac Laptop as a frontend for the moment.  On
 my normal Myth box I was able to hold the lirc remote's skip button down
 and not have a problem.  This has only become a problem while using the
 Mac frontend.  If it matters, the shows being played back were recorded
 using DVB.

 Because my main box has a broken screen, I can't go back and check if this
 is a problem under linux (using key-repeat instead of the LIRC remote), so
 I don't know who to assign the bug to.  Sorry.
