I ran gdb on a coredump, generating the following output when doing a
backtrace:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x0048bdb2 in _int_malloc () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0x0048b10d in malloc () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6
#2  0x007a1727 in headerNEVRA () from /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so
#3  0x007ab48f in rpmdbNextIterator () from /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so
#4  0x0084c1e1 in ?? () from /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so
#5  0x0085a008 in rpmTagTableSize () from /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so
#6  0x00000020 in ?? ()
#7  0x080879e8 in ?? ()
#8  0x08086528 in ?? ()

If anyone's interested, I can put the coredump on the web, it's just
900k bzipped.
