It seems that grip simply never get a successful lookup to freedb.org.

  At first, I thought that it was because the info from the CDrom was 
wrong (I live in Canada, and often the CDs released are bit different, and
freedb.org doesn't have as big a database as cddb did).

  However, after tcpdump'ing I realized that it was never actually trying.
  I expect this is a pthreads issue. 

  Has anyone else gotten grip fully functional?
