Matthias,
Mapping %_tmppath to /home/doc/temp in root's .rpmmacros seems to have done
the trick. RPM no longer bombs at that early point. It's been grinding for
45 minutes now and may take hours to complete. Successfully, I hope.
Thanks very much.

P.S. I *do* hope Red Hat changes the default /var allocation in the stock
server setup for release 7.2. Otherwise folks with just one Linux server
(your typical Samba file & print server) will have no choice but to run
whatever Red Hat posts to up2date.
