Well, after four days, no updates have been installed (and there
twenty coming down now, when I run yum by hand) *and* yum-updatesd
is leaking memory.  

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      5560  0.0 35.6 613444 368852 pts/11  S    Feb08   1:41 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd

So not only doesn't it work, but it eats all my memory.
