Yech. Spoke too soon. Every time mfdb runs now, whether automatically or by 
hand, it runs for /hours/ and then terminates with the dreaded:

FillData, Error: xmltv returned error code 256

...it then gets the database management all wrong and collapses without 
apparently doing anything constructive.

There is /very/ little to be gleaned about xmltv error codes via google, and 
/none/ on the xmltv wiki. Anyone any clues? I'm guessing on a possible perl 
library conflict here, but I really don't know. All the directories and files 
accessed appear to have the right owners, groups and permissions.
