I've had this problem (rpm db corruption) from time to time at least since
mandrake 8.2 (never reported it because bugzilla is only for cooker).
Normally I can rebuild the db (but it won't be up to date if rpm freaked during
installation), but I remember that once it wasn't possible and had to gather
information about all installed files to manually repopulate the db.

When I do "rpm -qa", the program would output several package names and then it
would get stucked.
I didn't build version with debugging information, though when I use "strace"
program to see what's happening I see that, when it gets stucked, it calls
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {timeout}) and timeout keeps increasing up until it
reaches length of one second - then it keeps timing-out after one second for ever.
The only solution I found is system reboot :(
