Description of Problem:

After upgrading to any rpm version newer than rpm-4.0.3-0.88 on both 
redhat 7.1 and roswell leaves rpm unusable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.0.3-0.83, rpm-4.0.3-0.88, rpm-4.0.3-0.91 and rpm-4.0.3-0.93

How Reproducible:

Install roswell and then just install some normal rpm's
(normal in the sense: totally unrelated to rpm, db, glibc etc.)
I'm not 100% sure about this but maybe it was caused by installing 
a package that was built on the system itself ??
Like so
rpm --rebuild gShield-2.7-1.src.rpm
rpm -Uvh gShield-2.7-1.i386.rpm

Another system had redhat 7.1 and has the same error
after installing
rpm-4.0.3-0.83.i386.rpm, ... popt-4.0.3-0.83.i386.rpm
or any newer version up untill rpm-4.0.3-0.93

This is the third time over I have to recover the database
(I don't make backups every hour on non production systems) 
so I'll try my best not to reproduce it anymore :)
 
Actual Results:

All rpm commands fail with:
rpmdb: Program version 3.3.11 doesn't match environment version 3.3.4
error: db3 error(22) from dbenv->open: Invalid argument
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Invalid argument (22)

Expected Results:

rpm works

Why ??
