Yes, looks like a recurrence (or partial recurrence) of a bug I filed
against fc12:  540477

>From the new comments in that bug, it looks like the error occurs on the
first time the hourly cron job gets run after the machine is booted, and
not after that (which would explain why there is no error when you run
it by hand).  Seems to be a kernel bug from reading the descriptions and
upstream is aware of it (or soon will be).
