What I currently have installed:  

rpm-python 4.2.3-21 
rpm-4.2.3-21_nonptl
yum-2.0.8-1.centos.7


Interestingly enough the centos 3.4 repository has rpm-python version 
-24 and rpm version -24 listed in the http repository of the mirror im 
looking at. Would that small of a version difference cause a segfault?
