This looks like you have a too old version of rpm. The old versions were
rather dodgy, and tended to segfault if given an rpm in a newer format.
You'll have to upgrade rpm, which could be tricky, since the current
versions will probably be in rpms unreadable by your current version. You
might be able to get there by going through several intermediate versions.
These may be available on ftp.redhat.com.
