Is this reproducible?
What does "rpm -V rpm" give?
And "rpm --rebuilddb"?

According to your logs, you had a kernel panic with 2.4.18-14 on
January 5th and another one 20 minutes later. Any particular reason
for that?

In the logs I couldn't find any hard disk drive block read error
messages. 

I suspect your RAM chips may be bad or your system unstable. That
would explain the kernel panic and signal 11 upon running rpm,
unless RPM itself is damaged. You might want to try memtest86
from Google.

The fsck on January 7th corrected /home, not /usr or any partition
that contains important system binaries.
