emacs curiosity

On two different fedora 8 systems now, I have done a
yum update, then the next time I started emacs, I've
had it error off during initialization with a message
about regular expression too big.

If I attempt to reproduce the problem, I find emacs
starts up perfectly OK on the next try.

If I look in /var/log/yum.log, I don't see any updates
that appear to be remotely related to emacs.

Anyone have a clue what the heck is going on here?
I'm just curious. Since it fixes itself, it is no
big deal I guess :-).
