My case is really weird. It suddenly started happening on a machine that
was running it fine before. It seems that a succession of "rpm -q" and
then any modification (rpm -e, rpm -i) will cause a lockup. I will be
running straces today and be posting more about it. Needless to say that
this is quite a bummer...

Is there any additional state being kept except in the database? Is there
any way to verify the consistency of that state?
