Current status:

rebooted to runlevel 2

yum update attempting to update db4, db4-devel, db4-utils, still hangs in
a sleep.

rpm -V db4
shows only changes to configuration files

rpm -V db4-devel
shows no problems

rpm -V db4-utils
gives a list of error messages of the form
"prelink: some-file-name: at least one of file's dependencies has changed since
    prelinking

where the file names are:
/usr/bin/berkeley_db_svc
/usr/bin/db_archive
/usr/bin/db_checkpoint
/usr/bin/db_deadlock
/usr/bin/db_dump
/usr/bin/db_load
/usr/bin/db_printlog
/usr/bin/db_recover
/usr/bin/db_stat
/usr/bin/db_upbrade
/usr/bin/db_verify

These 11 files also give a verify error of:
S.?......

Don't know if that's a cause or a result of the yum hang.
