Description of problem:
After installing RedHat Linux 9, I ran up2date from a terminal window. I got the
ordinary up2date GUI and clicked through a few of the pages.  When I reached the
phase where up2date downloaded RPM headers for a number of packages, it
eventually hung about half-way through with no indication of any error in the GUI.

After a while I checked the terminal window and saw this:
