As well this only seems to occur when running with privalges, 'yum foo' will fail fine, but using sudo or root I get the error.

Problem has seemed to go away on its own and I've been able to install updates though it still has some problems with locking up, calling a futex with FUTEX_WAIT shortly after trying to open /var/lib/rpm/Packages though I found removing /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* solved this problem.
closing since this sounds like not a yum bug marking as worksforme
