Why 'Fedora'? This bug affects more than just Fedora: as I reported on the issue, I'm seeing it on Gentoo as well. (Also, including the issue number in the commit message is helpful). Note that since the bug report says that "Gentoo has been including this fix for two years", the fact that it is failing on my Gentoo system would seem to indicate that something about the fix is not right. So, I'm not sure this skip is even valid. I'm not sure we've finished diagnosing the bug. If there are any helpful tests I can run on Gentoo, please let me know. -- R.
