rpm4.2.1, fedora, and --prefix/--relocate

[Matthew Boeckman <matthewb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just pulled down fedora, to test our software installation suite, and 
find that it ships with rpm 4.2.1, which seems to have 
--relocate/--prefix really really broken (segfaults every time). 
Bugzilla is chock full of reports, all closed with answers like "4.2.1 
is broke"

Is there a test/new release of RPM i should be using that supports 
--prefix/--relocate?

Or alternatively, how wise and succesful can a fella be downgrading RPM? 
Bottom line is that I'd like to continue using RPM for our software 
installs, we require --prefix functionality, and I need to be able to 
install on fedora, so any suggestions are appreciated!
