Adding to my own post, I figured I'd get a copy of the grep rpm from 
ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-4.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/

No joy.  My version of RPM (2.2.7) says that grep-2.0-4.i386.rpm isn't 
even a valid rpm file.  What's happening?  I've used grep many times 
since first installing.  Now it's suddenly a directory.  And I can't 
install a new grep, because RPM doesn't like the grep rpm.  Ack!

Somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong before I pull the plug and wipe the 
disk.
