Humm, I've tried that, without the runlevel 1, 3 times now, and I have 3 
new rpm directories that seem to have copied the __db.001 and __db.002 db 
files ok, but __db.000 and db.003 aren't transferred.  I let it sit for 
an hour the 2nd time before I killed it, the last attempt has not 
returned to the cli, and I just killed it with htop.  When I woke up this 
morning I had several cron driven processes involving rpm all hung too.

So this is what I have now, what should I nuke before this next try at 
runlevel 1?

I think we've succeeded in this case. :(
