I also don't see a connection either but haven't experienced the symptoms since I changed drivers almost two weeks ago. I've been trying to do everything that's caused the bad file descriptor error messages. In any case, I do believe I had a video problem as I was getting lockups and errors about gnome failing to release video pages. My lockups mainly occurred just after 4:00am when I believe rebuilddb runs. That's why I was linking the two. If you've got a Matrox then bad rpm database descriptors aren't related to Nvidia binary drivers.
