If someone can provide a link to information from TMS (i.e. the 
DataDirect forum, perhaps) that says whether this is a permanent change 
or not, we can modify mythfilldatabase, if necessary, to reduce the 
number of unnecessary requests (and, therefore, strain on the DD 
server).  (Modifying mfdb is about a 2 second change, but finding the 
information could take /much/ longer.)
