systemd-analyze --user Package: systemd-analyze-195-15.fc18 OS Release: Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Fixed in git. (since we have an implementation in C now, of this tool)
The fix is in F18 (at least in the version that's currently in updates-testing). At this point not much effort will be spent on systemd in F17. Only fixes for severe bugs can be expected.
