I'm running fedora core 3 (2.6.12-1.1378_FC3). i noticed yum started giving
me a lot of segmentation faults, so i did some looking around and discovered
that rpmdb was giving segmentation faults. I've looked as far as I know how,
and googled quite a bit, but I'm stuck. Here's some output:

**yum** (note: yum segfaults in the same place 90% of the time, sometimes
earlier.)
