Hi, I'm getting the following segmentation fault error at the end of each 
mythfilldatabase run. Looks like this...

Segmentation fault



Basically it all looks fine appart from the final line. That it it seems to 
update a lot less programs entries that it usually does, though it's got a 
lot of data from previous runs so that may be normal.

I've tried mythfilldatabase --refresh-all but it did nothing, and i'm not 
sure it works with the uk radiotimes grabber anyway.


I also have this error in mythweb...

"mythfilldatabase ran, but did not insert any new data into the Guide. This 
can indicate a potential grabber failure."

And a few days earlier it came up with this, which may be unconnected as i'm 
pretty sure mythfilldatabase ran fine when i first saw this:

"There's guide data until 2024-07-11 05:08 (6328 days)."


Any ideas what may be up? Or how i can repair/replace the table containing 
program data?


I'm running 0.20-19 on suse 10.2, xmltv 0.5.45.0 with the uk_rt grabber, and 
I'm pretty sure the error occured at a time when the system was the same as 
it was when it worked previously.

Only other possible cause I can think of is an overclocked processor. It 
feels perfectly fine, has been clocked higher previously without problem, 
but i have noticed a couple crashes of a single mod of a single game in 
windows which may be processor related, and i've had previous experience of 
processors causing seg faults, but i'm pretty sure it's not that.
