Custom Rules - BUG?

When creating large custom recording rules crashes MythFrontend, and when
restarting it has wiped
out all my recording rules, and all scheduled recordings. This has happened
more than once..
It appears as though the rules still exist in the custom rules, but they are
are in the scheduled
recording rules, and nothing is appearing to be scheduled to record...

Specific instructions for duplicating, please? And what do you mean by
"large custom recording rules"?

What I mean by large custom recording rules.
When I create a custom recording rule, its very long

Example

Program.category_type='movie'
AND program.stars >= 0.5 AND
program.title NOT LIKE %Christmas% AND program.title NOT LIKE %Holiday%
AND program.category NOT LIKE %Christmas% AND program.category NOT LIKE
%Holiday%

But I think I had alot more lines in it..

what happened when typing in Mythfrontend is the hard drive would get really
busy as the line
got longer making it impossible to type and then it would completely
crash... When I went back
in to the frontend all all schedules and upcoming recording had
disappeared... The rules would
still appear in the Custom rules but not in any other location..

I optimized the database, and checked for errors, but the problem still
existed..
I had restarted the computer a few times also... I don't know why but it
adventually reappeared
after a few shutdowns..

Considering the video-blits or whatever its called messing up my editing
of recordings
and I assume that it is what is causing the problems when fast forwarding
and rewinding,
which leads to big head aches, eye strains and a sick stomach, and now
that I cant
create custom setting for recordings without the system freezing up & all
my scheduled recordings
disappearing.. I think I'm going to go back to 0.21 until all these
matters are cleaned up..
Im not knocking the progress of MythTV, its heading in the right
direction.. and I'm very impressed.
its just I can't continue to use a system thats unstable, my recordings
are too important, and I think
I will be holding out for any serious Ubuntu update until the next LTS
version in 2011, I would prefer to reinstall
every 5 yrs instead of every 6 months. If at a future date I decide to
have 4 + machines running
mythtv I don't need everyones box crashing because of the backend.

Does anyone know the best way to take it back to 0.21? without wiping
everything out, or
is it best to just wipe it out completely?
