Bizarre Xvnc problem

I downloaded the new vnc-*4.0-0.beta4.3.2* rpms, and tried to update the
distro (using buildinstall, et al.).  I ran into a problem while it was
running scrubtree.  It seems that it was trying to run `file
/tmp/treedir.12345/instimage/usr/bin/Xvnc`, and it tied up the processor
for hours without finishing.  I installed the new vnc-server package and
tried `file /usr/bin/Xvnc`, with the same result.  I started Xvnc, and
it seems to run alright, but `file` never returns.  strace shows that it
finds the Magic data, but then it hangs at:

_llseek(3, 0, [244], SEEK_CUR)          = 0
_llseek(3, 328, [328], SEEK_SET)        = 0
read(3, "\4\0\0\0\20\0\0\0\1\0\0\0GNU\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\2\0\0\0"...,
8192) = 8192
_llseek(3, 8436, [8436], SEEK_SET)      = 0
read(3, "\4\0\0\0\21\0\30\0\365\f\0\0\10\324\4\10\243\0\0\0\22\0"...,
32) = 32
_llseek(3, 0, [8468], SEEK_CUR)         = 0
_llseek(3, 1572881, [1572881], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(3, "\225\210\373\377\377\213\215\220\373\377\377\213E\20\337"...,
8192) = 8192


I am rebuilding from source, but I wanted to find out if anyone else has
seen this.

Thanks,

Forrest
