Is there a way to reset/restore/recover the database? Check that you're not having NPTL-related problems. I did (RedHat 9 fresh installation on 2 separate boxes), and had to set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 (environment variable) to get RPM working again. Not sure what triggers the condition though. I've seen people complain on the RedHat forums (where I found this kludgy workaround), but they had been long ignored at the time.
