Is this at all reproducible?  I don't believe anyone here has seen this bug before.

Comment 3 John Reiser 2010-05-27 03:18:10 UTC
Attempt to reproduce was blocked by bug 596585.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 11:26:54 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2012-02-09 21:28:26 UTC
If you see this again in F17 alpha, please reopen this bug.  I've not seen any duplicates of it so I believe it to be fixed.
