prelink changes file size and md5sum

I am using FC3 and notice very wired behavior. The rpm -q --dump output
is inconsistent with actual file attribute.
# rpm -q --dump glibc | grep lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
/lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so *1451615* 1103537616
*3f269651d6f0953ce3f753760efa5026* 0100755 root root 0 0 0 X
# ls -l /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root *1454835* Dec 20 02:13 /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
# md5sum /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
*d6abef51fef1c5df35398f5fff34b714 * /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
The funny thing is that rpm -qV glibc doesn't report any md5sum
inconsistent. It takes me 2 days and finally find out the different
file size and different md5sum is caused by prelink daily cornjob (
/etc/cron.daily/prelink ). I wonder why md5sum and file size are
different from rpm -q --dump output? Can someone explain to me?
