[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend freezing

Hi,
I am having a continually problem with mythfrontend freezing. I
compiled 0.19 from svn (after it's release), on my mythbox made up of an
Althon XP 1800, 756M of memory, ATI 8500DV AIW, 300G hard drive running
mandriva 2006.
I got everything to compile fine, and it all starts up with out any
obvious problems. Once mythfrontend is up and running I can usually
move around the menus, watch TV, listen to music etc. However switching
to the guide always causes a freeze. In addition, moving around the
menus may lead to the same type of freeze.
When I say "freeze" I mean the screen is locked-up (won't even respond
to a ctrl-alt-backspace). I can still ssh into the box and do a top --
which shows X at 99% cpu usage. I can't shutdown the box until I kill
the x process.
None of my logs shows anything of interest. I tried to gdb the
mythfrontend process, but I didn't get any insights from that.
I would really appreciate any ideas on this...
Nasa
