Hello.

I have been running Mythbuntu 9.04 for a couple months now, and decided to enable the "weekly builds" repo.  After I ran a "dist-upgrade" and installed all the updated packages, I cannot start my frontend.  It initially starts up but then crashes.  A look at the log indicates that it ends with a segmentation fault.  Here is the entry from the "mythfrontend.log" file:

I have even blown away all the tables in the database and re-run mythtv-setup, but the issue remains.

I know I run risks when straying from "stable", but just wondering if there is a fix?

Let me know if there is any other info you need.  Thanks! :-)
