I'm having the same problem on C3t2 fresh install and when I got tired
of getting 1 header every time I ran yum, I wrote an endless loop script
that ran yum and displayed date/time and a counter on each loop.  What I
found was that _most_ of the time 1 header was returned each time yum
was run; maybe one in 20 or so returned more.  Once all the headers were
down, the rest ran almost as advertised; just a seg fault or two.  And
yes I'm running Ver 2.1.4-1.
