Well, after a detour into hardware issues (a dying fan ended up escalating
into swapping a motherboard), I built 2.6.18-rc4-mm1 - unable to replicate
the 'yum' hang on that.  Somehow, I'm not feeling very motivated to do a
bisect of -rc3-mm2 to find it, unless somebody thinks we should track it down
just in case it's just in hiding....
