Description of problem: All lines in /proc/$pid/status use a colon and a tab to separate the key from value(s). The only exception in the "Utrace: " line which uses a space instead of the tab. This breaks yum's show_lock_owner function which parses this file and expects the key/value separator to be ':\t'. yum could be made more robust here, but it's better if the kernel keeps the format of the lines consistent, because who knows what other software may have the same expectation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.29-0.267.rc8.git4.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Look at /proc/self/status with a hex editor 2. See the "Utrace: " line. Actual results: The character after the colon is a space (0x20). Expected results: The character after the colon should be a tab (0x9). Additional information: The faulty line is printed in kernel/utrace.c:task_utrace_proc_status(), it comes from linux-2.6-utrace.patch.
Should be fixed in the next rawhide kernel build.
