MythTV was also changed for 0.26 so that it doesn't rewrite the 
config.xml file on every application start (which is what results in the 
file sometimes being truncated, when multiple applications are started 
at the same time--such as for lots of preview generation).  Now it 
should only rewrite the config.xml if it needs to change something in it.
