Description of problem:
I am getting segmentation faults when using rpm.  I can fix them temporarily, with some combinations of 
# /bin/rm /var/lib/rpm/__d*; /bin/rm /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys
# rpm -qa > /tmp/r7
# rpm --rebuilddb -vv
# rpm -qa |wc

but the problem keeps coming back when trying to install another package with yum.


First noticed when trying to:
# yum localinstall java-1.5.0-sun-*
which died halfway through the initial downloading of indexes etc (I didn't have unixODBC installed at the time).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.1-22

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
see above.

# rpm -qa > /tmp/r8
Segmentation fault
# /bin/rm /var/lib/rpm/__d*; /bin/rm /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys
# rpm -qa > /tmp/r8
# rpm --rebuilddb -vv

Actual Results:  results included above.  The db did rebuild on the second attempt

Expected Results:  I shouldn't have had to rebuild the db or get the segmentation fault

Additional info:

before I reproduced the problem, I installed numerous more packages and had to reinstall numerous keys (all of my repos).  This is frustrating that this happens over and over again.
