 This is with f9/f10 yum/rpm/etc. ?

 My first guess would be that it's running out of memory, possibly
inside rpm itself (there was a bug with fingerprinting on kernel
updates that caused memory usage explosion).
 But it's hard to say, can you get a backtrace from a core file?
Certainly nothing in yum can cause a SEGV without a bug somewhere
else.
