I have a coredump and a valgrind report, all of them sent to suse 
maintainers (Bugzillla: 225630 & 225631).

I intend to restore the package database from backup and rerun the 
- --rebuilddb, but I'll wait for comments from Novell before destroying 
the faulty status quo of the database - but I wont wait for ever, of 
course.

I don't think zmd has to do with rpm segfaulting - that's a no-no for any 
program - but I may try another day.
