My myth knowledge is a bit dated the media centre here gets so heavily used it still hasn't been upgraded from 0.3. The MySQL database backend is still running I assume, maybe some db corruption, you could try dropping the db and rebuilding it from the mythtv-setup (suggestion back it up first)? If that doesn't work maybe it is a config issue elsewhere, there are config files you can play with locate is your friend. Or just "apt-get package --purge" mythtv and MySQL and reinstall (as long as nothing else is using MySQL on your box... I am running a bit on the myth boxes MySQL here)

If some of the backend library's get updated when you start myth up again it'll be using the new libs but half the stuff its talking to will be using the old ones and it'll all get horribly screwed up.
