I downloaded abd rpm -Uvh 'd pump-0.7.0-1 from updates.redhat.com while my system was connected to roadrunner (Columbus, OH). I was unable to manually bring down/restart networking after the update. The failure occured when bringing down eth0 which is the interface using dhcp on roadrunner. I elected to reboot. The shutdown hung with the same problem (no suprise there.) I no longer had control of the system and was forced to do a hardware reset. I don't know if this problem is repeatable. The system came up OK and was able to connect via dhcp just fine.
We can't reproduce this :-(
