well, i *was* going to reboot under bk3 just to test, closed down most of
my xterms, and did one more "rpm -qa" just to verify the problem.
and it worked fine.  go figure.

i didn't do *any* rebuilding, didn't use LD_ASSUME_KERNEL or anything
out of the ordinary.  mind you, i still have the ubiquitous 
/var/lib/rpm/__db* files, but a simple "rpm -qa" is back to working.

ack.
