FC6 - rpm --verifydb reveals problem

[Jim Cornette]

Thanks for the link regarding the hidden option to rpm which verifies 
database integrity. I was bit while trying to install via yum the 
ntfs-sg3 package. The below output was reported.

Symptom: segmentation fault when installing ntfs read/write package. 
Trying to run rpm --rebuilddb stays in locked condition and does not 
proceed further.

There is a problem. What do you suppose it is?
Jim
