Has anyone else seen this problem n MDK 8.1?

su'd as root, occasionally RPM will start locking up, I think reading
its database. So, if I do "rpm -qa" for example, I'll get half the list
and it stops. It's hung until I break it. As soon as it happens once, it
keeps happening on subsequent tries.

When it's acting up, other operations like "rpm -Uv" will also hang. The
strange part? In another window, as regular user, do the same "rpm -qa",
everything works fine.

I think it's ok if I login as root from console. Only under an su, both
"su" and "su -" have I seen this happen.
