Comment 9 Ondrej Vasik 2014-06-12 06:07:49 UTC 
Looking at the backtrace: argc=0 , argv[0]=NULL ==> incorrect use of execve or some other function for executing programs (passing null arguments) ==> notabug.

I reported this upstream - true and false utilities were fixed ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-11/msg00215.html ), behaviour was discussed with glibc maintainers - with resolution that this is execve abusing and not a bug. More details in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498557 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537684 - true/false fixes were considered exceptions, no other exceptions planned.
