Ack! You did, and I forgot to look.

So... lots of nasty "rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected..." reports, mostly fc6 or earlier.

There was one nasty kernel mmap bug, but that was against fc6 and fixed for kernels >= 2.6.9, although it seems at least one person is still experiencing it with f7/f8:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=181363

Anyway, it seems that the rpmdb exercises the system in some unusual ways, and it's not unheard of to see "mysterious" corruption that can depend on what hardware is present.

I'm just going to stick with manual update checks for now.
