Okay, I solved it -- somehow, my 'record' table had an entry with a type
of '2' (kTimeslotRecord), but the start/end times were 00:00:00. The
class never seemed to recover, which threw off everything that
followed, and explains why I was getting some good entries (the list is
'ORDER BY title ASC') -- the bad entry was "Enterprise", so I got good
results for any titles beginning with A-Em.
I deleted the offending entry and all is right with the world.
I still may take a look at the code, though... the master scheduler was
chugging along quite nicely in spite of the bad entry, so I'd think the
'Recording Priorities' screen should be able to handle the situation
gracefully as well.
