fyi.. this rhel 5 client was kickstarted using satellite, which *may* be part of the recreate

I think that Wes and I found the same bug here and, from our testing, we think that this problem is broader than the reported issue regarding package installs. Simply put, any call to the /XMLRPC handler on the Satellite will deterministically receive either a 500 ISE error or a successful completion of the call, including package installs and system registration, with the tracebacks Wes reported appearing in /var/log/httpd/error_log upon each ISE.

Try as we may, QA can't get a reproducer on this bug despite countless attempts over the past week. It looks like this might have been a fluke, existing on our Satellite alone, so I talked with Prad, and we're going to close this as NOTABUG. If someone ends up seeing it again, though, feel free to pop this bug open again.
Reopening... we have been able to reproduce this bug by issuing a large number of requests to Perl-related pages in the UI while kickstarting (which require Apache to be served). See bz#485532 for more details, as this seems to be a duplicate of that.
