There was an anouncement about RPM in the changelog of Slackware 9.1. Maybe your problem is related as well.
http://www.slackware.com/changelog/stable.php?cpu=i386
Quote:

patches/packages/rpm-4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rpm-4.2.1.
This fixes problems with the version of RPM shipped with Slackware 9.1.
After the release, it was discovered that attempting to install packages
with RPM would cause it to segfault, and that recompiling that version of
RPM produced a broken binary unable to build SRPMs (this had been
discovered previously, and was the reason RPM had been compiled statically;
unfortunately the static binary quit working for unknown reasons).
The 4.1.patches/packages/rpm-4.2.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rpm-4.2.1.

The 4.1.x series seems to have the same problems with SRPM building not
working (an incompatibility with glibc-2.3.2, perhaps?), but the 4.2.1
version has been tested and found to work.x series seems to have the same problems with SRPM building not
