Along the lines of fixing without understanding, I removed the Centos
4 yum package and forcefully installed the Centos 3 package.  This
works.  I can only assume there is a difference in the way the later
yum handles proxies.  I have a vague recollection of there being a
caching element in later yum releases.  I'll update the list when I
find out *why* this rather hacky approach worked.
