[PLUG] rpm problem

I've got a stock RH8.0 box set up and it seems that the rpm binary(ies) is
whacked. No matter what command I enter the process just sleeps until
killed, this includes the rpm cronjob entry that happens daily.

My first thought was to "rpm --rebuilddb" but that hung. The following
commands have had the same effect:

rpm -q...   (any queries, qa, ql <pkg>)
rpm -Uvh <local rpm file>
up2date

My last resort I guess will be to reboot the machine since it is not in my
office and in use at the moment.

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Keith
