[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend looping when attempting to play TV

Environment: Mythsuite 0.16 installed using apt-get
Fedora Core 3 kernel 2.6.9
Single machine setup

Status: Unable to play TV

Other issues: Varied - see other thread on looping
filldatabase

Current problem: Mythfrontend looping

Actions: 
1. Started Mythbackend - messages seem ok to me (see
below)
2. Started Mythfrontend  - messages seem ok to me (see
below)
3. Played DVD - seemed to work fine but no control
over playing - certainly not in ogle class
4. Stopped DVD playing with CTL-C
5. Selected Play TV in MythFrontend
Result: 
Resolution of screen changed from 1024 x 768 (?) to
640 x 480 (?) anyway the letters and windows swell in
size


6. TV Displays what seems to be an empty schedule
(probably related to my problem with filldatabase)
7. Try to exit MythTV by pressing ESC

Result: All hell breaks loose
More explicitely - The myth front-end console starts
spewing the same messages (see below) and I have to
CTL-C the Mythfrontend console.

Frequency of occurrence:Every time MythTV is selected
