[mythtv] Problem with mythfilldatabase

I'm running yesterday's CVS tarball on a Mandrake 9.0 system (my first 
attempt with MythTV)...

Everything works fine until I try to mythfilldatabase... The first time I 
tried it, I got MANY, MANY errors.  So I did ctrl-C and decided to try it 
another time, when the server was less congested.  But, now, whenever I try 
it again, I get:

[root@tv setup]# mythfilldatabase
----------------- Start of XMLTV output -----------------

checking provider information for postal/zip code [my_US_zip_code], be 
patient..
double checking channel information, be patient..
writing listings to /tmp/mythbbbFsx
Day 2002-11-6 schedule for station 1 LEAC001 has:6 programs
Day 2002-11-6 schedule for station 2 TVGOS has:6 programs
.....
..... (more stuff)
.....
Day 2002-11-6 schedule for station 98 PIN has:48 programs
Day 2002-11-6 schedule for station 99 LEAC099 has:6 programs
Grabbed 1861 programs on 76 channels over 1 day(s) in 133 seconds
  not too bad, that's 13.99 programs/sec and 1.75 seconds/www page
------------------ End of XMLTV output ------------------


So far, so good, except it stops right there and hangs.

I've tried deleting the database, re-running the setup program (many 
times)...same result each time (BTW, I have a mysql user ID for mythtv, 
password mythtv, and can log into mysql with that userid (from a shell) and 
use the database).

In --manual mode, it seems to work (it goes to the next day) but I really 
don't want to manually input 100 channels for 7 days... can anyone tell me 
why it might not be working for a regular US programming schedule?

Thanks!!!
