It reports that it's corrupt when I attempt to save a valid XML db to MySQL and in fact it is, as verfied through the MySQL workbench. However, I just downloaded 2.6.17 source from the GC web site and it works perfectly! Somehow git cloning 2.6.99 is not the right thing to do. Oops. Thank you, though I was looking forward to some down and dirty source code and API troubleshooting. - Art

I am only using git at this point to get the source code. What happens if you save to a mysql db of a different name (or delete the current db first)?
