Segmentation fault occured while trying to upgrade make-3.79.1-13 to 3.80-1:

  # /bin/rpm --upgrade -vh --root /opt/builder --noorder make-3.80-1.i686.rpm
  zsh: segmentation fault  /bin/rpm --upgrade -vh --root /opt/builder --noorder make-3.80-1.i686.rpm

After chroot'ing, everything worked fine.  (And I forgot to keep an
output from strace. :-/ )

The same problem occured with grep-2.5e-6 -> grep-2.5.1-4.  I have tested
it with poldek:

  $ poldek -n radek -n ra --root /opt/builder --upgrade-dist -v
  błąd: /home/users/radek/rpm/RPMS/packages.dir.gz: Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu

Next try was supposed to be pasted into this report, so I have turned the
Polish locale off:

  $ LANG=C poldek -n radek -n ra --root /opt/builder --upgrade-dist -v

...and it worked.  Unfortunately, I don't have old versions of this
packages to make more tests.

Upgrading other packages (about 30) worked fine.  I don't have the list,
though.
