I just finished upgrading glibc to glibc-2.2.4.  All appears to be fine
(no glibc trainwrecks), except some very disturbing behavior.  

I was rebuilding a SRPM, and it completed without a hitch.  So I go to
install the newly generated RPM, as i've done countless times before,
and i get this cryptic error:
rpm: ../iconv/skeleton.c:302: gconv: Assertion `outbufstart == ((void
*)0)' failed.
Aborted

I did some research and it appears that this error is a result of some
incompatibilities between the locale-data in glibc-2.2.x and rpm-3.x. 
Unfortunately, no one had a solution (other than to not use RPMs
anymore).

Anyone have any ideas?
