I'm using up2date on beta5 using the one free non-privileged entitlement per
email address.  I started a massive up2date (~350 megs).  The up2date proceeded
for 82% of the download, at which time the RHN servers started blocking free
downloads (switched to purchased entitlement mode).

This crashed up2date on my client.  The screen is now hung (the only available
option is cancel), and the traceback in the shell is:

[kaboom@skuld up2date]$ up2date
