Description of problem: On a fedora11 preview system, with printers never before defined... If I start system-config-printer and add a printer, a kernel WARNING spews fourth. This warning happens right as the system-config-printer 'Select Device' screen comes up. I was notified of the warning by a gnome popup window that said 'Your system had a kernel failure'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This is fedora11 preview, but with yum update run a couple times. Therefore, it's using newer packages than were on the preview dvd. Running kernel: 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 kernel rpm: kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 system-config-printer: system-config-printer-1.1.7-4.fc11.x86_64 /etc/fedora-release: Fedora release 11 (Leonidas) How reproducible: 100% It happens each time I start system-config-printer. You don't need to reboot between attempts. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start system-config-printer 2. click 'New' 3. At this point, the traceback/kernel warning happens.

Looks like this is finally fixed upstream, even if the fix is not the best: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=05ad709d04799125ed85dd816fdb558258102172
