Thanks for the update, and apologies for not having checked into this
yet (bathroom project taking precedence, and sourceforge CVS still
being offline).

It's possible that there was broken timing data in the raw Radio Times
listings which was causing the issue - I'll see what I can find in
your XML file (but no promises)

I've not used tv_extractinfo_en to any great extent, but most of the
XML data parsing occurs in the core XMLTV libraries. I'll have a look
at tv_extractinfo_en and see how it might be made more verbose in
situations like this.

There may also be mention of the offending programme entry in the
uk_rt grabber's debug log, otherwise there's always the Perl debugger
to see what the offending data was that was causing the program to
fail.
