Is this at all reproducible? I don't believe anyone here has seen this bug before.
Attempt to reproduce was blocked by bug 596585.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
If you see this again in F17 alpha, please reopen this bug. I've not seen any duplicates of it so I believe it to be fixed.
