Add/Remove Applications run amok in FC4

I ran Desktop --> System Settings --> Add/Remove Applications. After a 5 or
10 minutes the disk went on and stayed on. When I finally launched System
Monitor I found that the python task under system-config-packages was over
580 MB and still growing. My machine has G/2 memory so it was paging out
like crazy. I finally managed to kill the process by rebooting. However
everytime I start system-config-packages the task
python /usr/share/system-config-packages/MainWindow.py
just grows at the rate of 20MB-40MB/min and doesn't stop. It seems like
some sort of infinite loop condition. Can anybody suggest how to reset the
history of installed aps so that I can use system-config-packages. Are
there any work arounds?
