I (not the person to whom you were replying) have also had a crash in 
python urllib while updating, except I was using up2date, not yum 
directly.

Not sure how much it may be related; sound like both up2date and yum 
could use extra checking on what they get back from the server, 
especially with (hearsay from this list) redhat's servers not 
erroring gracefully when they're overloaded...
