 So, this started out out as a stupid user error due to other issues that
 were my own fault, but it caused a good 2 days of headaches.

 At some point in my debugging of a bad backend setup, I set DBPort=6543 in
 mysql.txt on the frontend.

 The result is that the frontend starts, appears to connect to the db, does
 some UPNP stuff, and then just hangs there indefinitely never showing a
 GUI at all.

 I'm a newbie to MythTV so this would probably be obvious to someone whos
 done it before, and I should have known that wasn't the standard mysql
 port, but no error makes it a PITA to deal with.

 I'm guessing this is really an issue with the mysql libraries not
 reporting an error or timing out since the port is open and connects, but
 I've not developed with mysql or looked at the mythtv source so I figured
 I'd leave it to the experts.
