Hmm, Rawhide has rpm 4.2.1-0.30, and the bug persists - I'm assuming I
probably don't want to downgrade, since the 4.1.1 test is just
backported stuff from 4.2, yes?
I have not been able to get it to do this with the rawhide version.. and
I have done some pretty darn complicated database transactions with some
rpms inside of rpms... Do you have a replicable case including hardware
swap size?
