without a chance to get some solid evidence in return, I'm just going to
leave yum-updatesd off, for now.

And just now I had the database go belly up even with yum-updatesd
completely disabled, so it looks like that's off the hook.

I wonder how the same hardware was stable all through f7, and f8 up
until about a month ago. Maybe a kernel glitch with my hardware? The
system is stable otherwise, but maybe the database exercises something
unusual.

almost sounds like an incomplete upgrade occurred, perhaps with the
wrong version of berkley-db4 or python installed.

Did you ever go through things like installing yum-tools and
package-cleanup?
