[opensuse] Strange RPM Problem

I'm having somewhat the same problem as I reported a few weeks ago. Occasionally my home directory locks up on an 'ls'. What I've noticed is that this always seems to follow a yast RPM problem. I'll go into software management and the program just hangs before it should go into the search window. After that, the software management doesn't check sources, but after a long wait announces that the RPM catalog can't be accessed because another program is using it. No other program seems to be using it. Then when I reboot, everything seems fine ... until the next time it happens. Any ideas?
