Alan,
Thank you for that pointer. I re-ran the 'yum clean all' including the
--enablerepo='*' option. It appeared to clean out the same metadata and cache
files as last time. And when I tried the 'yum -d 5 list yum' command again, it
still ends up in the loop consuming memory as before.
I appreciate that you added new information that got me to go past an
assumption that I had made. But the problem still persists.
Please send in private email to me the contents of /tmp/yumtrace
strace -fo /tmp/yumtrace yum list yum
on both a system where it "fails" and one where it "works".
You may have to install strace which is in the strace rpm.

Thanks again,

Ken,
Have you done a

Yes, I have done 'yum clean all'. That's part of the e-mail that I sent at
4:12 this afternoon, probably while you were typing this message to me.
for each of your repositories?
I have not used any enablerepo or disablerepo options on the 'yum clean all'
command. I guess when I typed clean all, I figured that would just clear
everything from the cache and such, regardless of repository.
That, unfortunately, is not the case.
