Thanks for the ideas Michael, I think at least until I give up, I'd
rather fix the absolute path problems than try to work around them.

I _thought_ I'd found an easy solution when I discovered
includes/init.php but changing line 52 to

define('root', "");

broke at least the recorded programs page and the home page link and
probably a few other things.

I'm left scratching my head why someone would want to use fake
subdirectories to pass variables to a web application in a situation
such as mythtv.

Looking at the load on my mythtv server (especially on mysqld and
httpd) while the recorded programs page attempts to load I can't help
but wonder if the problems don't go a fair bit deeper than absolute
URLs.  I guess a little more poking around is in order.
