Problem showed up in releases ufter Nov 28 1999. Regards, Jaroslaw Sosnicki
Unless you're interested in helping to debug rpm-3.0.4, you should stick with the production rpm-3.0.3.
Does this problem still exist with rpm-3.0.4-0.8 or later? I've fixed a couple of nasty memory corruption problems ...
It looks OK with rpm=3.4.4-0.9.i386.rpm
Thanks for testing.
