rcd eats 100% of my CPU resources, continuously

For the last month or so, rcd has been eating 100% of my CPU resource on
a continuous basis (for days!). I'm using version rcd-2.0.1-0.ximian.6.0
on RH9 (w/ XD2). After starting rcd, my system logs show:

Feb  2 15:01:17 bryan rcd[22444]: Red Carpet Daemon 2.0.1

Feb  2 15:01:18 bryan rcd[22444]: Can't read synthetic packages file
'/var/lib/rcd/synthetic-packages.xml'

The file 'synthetic-packages.xml' exists but is empty. The red-carpet
dev-list indicates this is a benign error, so I've no idea what the
problem is. I've tried re-installing rcd/rug/etc. with no improvement.

I'm used to occasional gratuitous burst of rcd activity (for say 10 mins
at a time), but this continuous action is un-ending. Can anyone help?

cheers,
Bryan
