I found that rh80 required the upgrade from the rpm.org website. I did
not change the version of rpm, just the patch level. "RPM Hangs" do not
occur any more.
When the RPM Hang occurs under RH80, it leaves three __db* files in a
directory under /var
If these files are removed and then the rpm database rebuilt, even the
standard RH80 rpm can be used a few more times before it hangs again.
