[mythtv] Re: MythWeather - erratic updates?

Thanks for your quick response - sorry I took a couple of days to test.
Sadly things seem to have got worse rather than better. Let me explain:

I blew away my development installation, and resynced with CVS as of last
night, after your changes went in. Everything built OK, and I went through
the setup, and BINGO - MythWeather connected to msnbc and downloaded the
latest info.

However, once I had checked the other modules I use (TV, Gallery, Music) I
went back to Weather, and the front end appeared to hang. 'top' shows one
mythfrontend PID at 99% CPU, so I slapped an strace on it, and it seemed to
be stuck in a loop:

gettimeofday({1059154623, 665250}, NULL) = 0
select(13, [3 4 5 12], [], [], {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665335}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665353}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665395}, NULL) = 0
select(13, [3 4 5 12], [], [], {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665480}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665498}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665540}, NULL) = 0
select(13, [3 4 5 12], [], [], {0, 0})  = 0 (Timeout)
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665625}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665643}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
gettimeofday({1059154623, 665684}, NULL) = 0

Argh! What can I do to track this down?

Cheers
