Thanks for the assumptions... After backing up my database I fresh
installed Mythbuntu 64-bit, and ran into issues. First one is that the
64-bit database upgrade left me two schema revisions behind. I tried
reinstalling 64-bit a number of times with the same results, and same error
139 CTD issues every time. Could it be my hardware? Sure... two completely
different 64-bit systems. I would love to be running 64-bit Mythbuntu, but
for some reason it just doesn't like me.

My first post was the abridge version. OP doesn't have to listen to me, I
was just offering troubleshooting advice and clearly stated it might or
might not work for him.
