[Techtalk] Segmentation faults

[mc]

Greetings all.

I am having a very bad morning :(  I logged into my RH 7.3 machine and
tried to open Opera, it segfaulted on me.  It had done this a couple of
times last night, but I rebooted when I logged off last night, hoping
that would clear whatever was causing this.  I then tried to reinstall
opera, tried to update it, tried to remove it, it tells me the darn
thing is not installed!

So, I have 2 problems....

1) What is causing the segfaults.  This machine has not ever yet been
the most stable of any linux machine I have installed.  I have seen
other segmentation faults, mostly when unmounting during shutdowns and
reboots.  

2) What is the best way to wipe any and all pieces of Opera off the
machine's rpm DB so I can get it reinstalled?

Any and all help is most appreciated!!!!
