	From what I thought I read, deleting and rebuilding the database was
supposed to fix things.  A quick combing of my RH emails shows that pretty
much everyone complaining about the "munching" got it resoled with "rm -f
/var/lib/rpm/__db*" and rebuilding the db....  perhaps you've got something
worse going on.  Are you fully updated?
	I've got an 8 box here - is there something I might try to
duplicate?
