Yum crash under 2.6.16-1.2080.2.6_FC5.netdev.1

This morning I installed the current netdev kernel
(2.6.16-1.2080.2.6_FC5.netdev.1), but whenever I try to use yum, it
promptly crashes with a segfault.  Is anyone on the list using the
2080 netdev kernel without problems under x86_64?

Details seem to indicate SELinux is in the neighborhood, but dropping
from enforcing to permissive doesn't help.  No avc:denied messages are
logged.
