Unfortunately it locks/crashes very rarely and is probably still not fixed. When I installed fedora core 1 at home I could not get rpmbuild working 1/2 days - it crashed just before packing all the files in the final .rpm :( The next day (maybe after I installed some binary packages) it started working by itself... and fortunately I have no problems till now... I had some more problems I'm trying to reproduce again... but no luck till now (ex: one package installed fine with DESTDIR=/tmp/zzz by hand, but tryed to install in / from rpmbuild regardles of the DESTDIR in the .spec file...). -- Regards, Doncho N.
