RPM verification

I just had a system crash that involved repairing the /usr filesystem, so
I ran "rpm -Va" to make sure there was no damage. I have two questions:
(1) The file status string that is printed when a file fails to verify
consists of
SM5DLUGTC
possibly followed by one of c,d, g, l, or r. I can't find any description
of the final "C" character in the "SM5DLUGTC" string. (The uppercase "C"
after the "T", not the lowercase "c" after the space. I know the latter
indicates a config file.) It's not documented in the man page or the
latest snapshot of Maximum RPM at www.rpm.org. What is this mysterious
character trying to tell me?
(2) I got a number of error messages of the form:
prelink: /tmp/#prelink#.mPH4kf: Recorded 12 dependencies, now seeing -1
What does this mean? Is it serious? How can it be repaired?
Thanks.
