Err, I take it back, -that's- not where it bombed out:  I failed to
notice that it hadn't actually given me a shell prompt back and was
actually sitting at a question (since it was running in an Emacs

typed in my password, and -then- it blew out with:

ERROR: Bad XML from DD, cannot continue

[Breezy's version of XMLTV is 0.5.40-1ubuntu1, FWIW, though I still
