Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2013-02-07 07:32:08 UTC 
Fedora 14 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-12-09. Fedora 14 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
