Well, I'm not sure why the segmentation fault (the dumb thing...), but 
this is how it comes out:

[jon at localhost jon]$ rpm -q up2date yum rpm rpm-devel
up2date-4.3.11-2.1.1
yum-2.0.5.20040310-1
rpm-4.3-0.20
Segmentation fault
[jon at localhost jon]$

I haven't tried upgrading to glibc manually, so I'm going to try that. I 
often try to avoid updating glibc for as much as I can...
