I'm guessing the only way to fix this would be to use the "Rebuild WMC Database" button in the EPG123 config GUI, since it looks like WMCs own garbage cleanup is failing, indicating that there may be corruption in the WMC database. Probably should wait for Gary to respond to be sure.

@garyan2 Do you have any suggestions as rebuilding the database sounds a bit drastic.
