Hmm. Your login looks rather small to me: mine (debian woody) is 35148,
openBSD is 24576, hurd is 21244, and the smallest I can find is 19868.
Have you had any filesystem problems? Try downloading a fresh rpm, mv
the login to another name and then install the rpm. Though really, if the
filesystem is dying it'd be more a segfault than this error message.
If you're going to reinstall anyway, this may well be a good moment (after
checking your hds for consistency!).
