I suspect you're right, though it seems the bug is in createrepo.  I've
just upgraded to createrepo-0.9.8-5 (which meant rebuilding deltarpm for
the updated for rpm-4.6.0, and then rebuilding yum-3.2.23-10 for el5),
and the bug is gone, though now mergerepo ends with:

19133/16961 - junit-demo-3.8.2-6.4.fc12.x86_64
19134/16961 - rubygem-gettext_rails-doc-2.1.0-2.fc13.noarch
19135/16961 - perl-DateTime-Event-Recurrence-0.16-9.fc13.noarch
19136/16961 - bluez-compat-4.63-3.fc13.x86_64
19137/16961 - perl-XML-XPath-1.13-10.fc13.noarch

I guess it's the new way of doing math. :)

What version of createrepo and yum are on the builders?
