A shot in the dark...but how's your database feeling?  Anything
interesting happen if you surf to <hostname>/mythweb, and click on the
listings link?

I had an "event" that I'm putting down to a hardware glitch screw up
my myth a few days ago.  I discovered last night that my listings were
affected (on all channels I checked, mind you), and various efforts to
reset the listings weren't working.

I eventually discovered that mysql was fretting about a table crash,
and I had to drop the database and recover from a pre-crash dump of my
DB.  Even then, I sort of had to hammer my DB into place.  Once the db
was happy, though, the listings were able to be populated again.

Cheers.
