LOL.  Only thing I can think of would be agressive globbing with full
paths (/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/ adds 23 characters to each file being
added).  Now 10 packages with circular dependencies is certainly a
scenario that I've never seen before, but then again, I'm far from
authoritative.

Thank you, you made me laugh today.  I needed that :)
