  I think it has something to do with the rpm bug that makes it lock and
crash sometimes. Unfortunately it locks/crashes very rarely and is
probably still not fixed. When I installed fedora core 1 at home I could
not get rpmbuild working 1/2 days - it crashed just before packing all
the files in the final .rpm :( The next day (maybe after I installed
some binary packages) it started working by itself... and fortunately
I have no problems till now...
  I had some more problems I'm trying to reproduce again... but no luck
till now (ex: one package installed fine with DESTDIR=/tmp/zzz by hand,
but tryed to install in / from rpmbuild regardles of the DESTDIR in
the .spec file...).
