It'd be interesting to see how rpm fares with 2.6.19+ kernels. IIRC
recently in the course of investigating another problem Linus fixed some
code and wondered publicly if this longstanding bug wouldn't impact
stuff like bdb. And then several heavy bdb users (openldap…) piped in
they've been hunting an elusive corruption for a long time without
realising the problem may be kernel-side. And that latest Linus kernel
fixed it.

Looks suspiciously like the rpm thing.
