Strangeness with recent FC5 update

Sat Jul 8 13:37:11 UTC 2006

Yesterday yum update installed a new kernel et al.
For some reason /etc/inittab was renamed to /etc/inittab.rpmsave.
rc.local got the same treatment.

I had to use a live Linux CD to repair the damage before
FC5 would boot properly.

Why would RPM mess with these files?  Any other files hosed
that I should worry about?
