Bingo! That sounds familiar.
I do use to run "rpm -qa | grep" a lot, and i did install cpan2rpm on
that system at a time close to when the bug hit (not sure if before or
after).

However, i've seen this bug even with genuine Red Hat update packages. I
may be wrong, but i think i've seen it once even when running the cute
RHN panel applet.

The bug is not connected to a particular piece of hardware. I've seen it
on:
- my workstation at the office (2xPIII/800, 1GB RAM, 4xSCSI)
- my home PC (1xAthlonXP/1800, NForce mobo, 512MB RAM, 1xIDE)
- different random PIII machines

All of the above is for RH 8.0. Didn't see it with Phoebe (yet).
