I don't know, but he has established now that he's seeing the problem 
described here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101603

If he has LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set to 2.4.19, then installing any RPM will 
corrupt the RPM database.  If he unsets it, the install works ok (after 
recreating the database, of course).

According to the bug comments RH thought they had fixed this for RHEL4, 
but apparently not.
