OK, here is how I reproduce:

I start a "yum update" in one terminal window.

While it is "running" (i.e., after I enter "y" to do the update), I start a "yum update in another terminal window.

Here is what I get:

[root@tlondon ~]# yum update

Comment 3 Michal Schmidt 2009-03-23 17:17:20 UTC
It's a kernel bug, the "Utrace: ..." line has a space and not tab like all other lines.

This should be "fixed" in yum in upstream commit:
