I mean to say that I ran 'grab --sysupdate'; chose only a few packages from
the list of 350+ upgrades available (out of 1200 or so packages in the
repository). 
it downloaded and installed those packages (I think... memory is a bit fuzzy
here... it might have failed on some package error or another).
it then showed a list of over 1000 packages, which appeared to be a list of
all the packages in the repository. (I think the numbers went to 999, then
started over again and went to 189 or so; which would be about the total
number of packages in the repository).

this is grab-2.4-gmk1 with rpm-4.0.4

once I get done with some jobs; I'll see if I can capture the behavior in a
typescript.
