rhn_register is part of rhn-setup (rhn-client-tools src.rpm), I'll change the component

The installation number shown seems OK, although it's very unlikely
this is a client side problem (judging by the internal server error
messages).

Please contact Red Hat Customer support if this is still an issue.

Thank you.
