 there is no way to work with your server now that it is at 0.26.  If you
 made a pre-upgrade backup (which normally happens automatically), you may
 be able to downgrade your server.  Otherwise, there is little way to debug
 this further at the moment.

  Yes, but the crash first occurred with the following mythtv backend
 version:
 {code}
 2012-08-08 20:52:49.499742 C [3278/3278] thread_unknown
 mythcommandlineparser.cpp:2534 (ConfigureLogging) - mythbackend version:
 master [v0.25-rc-106-gf73dbda] www.mythtv.org. In that case the schema was
 also 1299.
 {code}
 So I think the bug report is valid.

 I realize this means I have to wait for an 0.26 version from MacPorts or
 downgrade. I do have a DB backup, but I'm not sure I want to downgrade.

 Maybe I could contribute to an 0.26 Mythtv port? I'm relatively new to
 MacOS, but I've been running Gentoo on my Linux boxes for years. It seems
 like a port file is conceptually similar to an ebuild. I've also
 developped C++ on Linux for years.
