tv_grab_na_dd <invalid date> solution??

If you've been getting "Invalid Date" errors with tv_grab_na_dd and have been 
playing with alpha versions and/or the --padd switch, please try current CVS or 
alpha EXE (http://alpha-exe.xmltv.org). 

Research shows the problem is due to a bug on the DD server when certain fields 
span packets.  Fields are spanning packets due to an increase in the size of 
envelope data with the current SOAP::Lite module (which is probably considered 
by them an improvement).

 Old versions had 285 bytes of schema.  
  Recent version had 397 bytes (seemed to always use a continuation packet) 
  This hack reduces envelope to 276 bytes!  A sniffer trace shoed there wasn't 
even a continuation packet! 
  
 (don't use the experimental -padd option of course) 

I *HOPE* this fixes it for everyone.  Please let me know.
