Can't import extensions

I can't get Typo3 to list extensions from the TER. When I
click "Retrieve/
Update" Typo3 seems to download a fresh list of
extensions. Indeed there is 
download network activity and Typo3 reports "The
extensions list has been 
updated and now contains 2102 extension entries." When
I click "Look up" button 
with nothing in the text field no extensions are listed
"No matching extensions 
found".

The problem is occurring on a development computer (ie not a
'production' 
computer). I'm running Mac OS 10.4.8 client, PHP 5.2, MySQL
5.0.27. I'm getting 
the same problem using Typo3 version 4.0.4 and Typo3 version
4.1beta2. I've 
tried modifying php.ini to increase PHP memory from 16MB to
32MB and 64MB. I've 
tried "Enable extensions without review (basic security
check)" and ticking 
"Show obsolete". The problem persists. I've also
tried relaxing the file/folder 
permisissions on the typo3_src directory content
(read&write to everyone).

I can import AND list extensions on my production web server
(Mac OS 10.4.6 
Server, Typo3 version 4.0.2). 

I see this problem is mentioned in several forums. It seems
to be quite a common 
problem. Yet there doesn't seem to be a clear solution. This
is very 
frustrating. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Remove extensions.xml.gz and try again. There might be a
database error
also, check the install tool to check if your database is up
to date.
