Oh, it's not hanging. It's diligently searching through... something. I don't really know what, exactly. An lsof could probably shed some light on it. My CentOS 4 box displayed similar behavior. Annoyingly, a C-C doesn't kill whatever sub-process yum launched, so I was getting results intermittently spit onto my IRC session for a few hours before I finally killed the errant process with extreme predjudice.
