This is the result:
140735340871696	./var/lib/yum/yumdb/s/160f96bb8689bae7bed1f8801385845d47913ace-skype-2.0.0.72-fc5-i586
140735340872268	./var/lib/yum/yumdb/s
140735340884168	./var/lib/yum/yumdb
140735340884184	./var/lib/yum
140735340910320	./usr/include
140735341713520	./var/lib
140735342037100	./var
140735344736432	./usr
281470690029776	.

However, there's no file so big:
ls -lh /var/lib/yum/yumdb/s/160f96bb8689bae7bed1f8801385845d47913ace-skype-2.0.0.72-fc5-i586

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  2 2009-07-27 20:52 releasever

However, there's something messed up with the uid/gid:

ls -ld /var/lib/yum/yumdb/s/160f96bb8689bae7bed1f8801385845d47913ace-skype-2.0.0.72-fc5-i586

ls -l /usr/include/autosprintf.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 4294901760 16711680 4096 2009-06-23 03:53
/usr/include/autosprintf.h

Apparently these are the two files with the problem, and it seems to
be related to the wrong directory size.
