INFO: possible recursive locking detected

["Jason Dravet" <dravet@hotmail.com>]

On a recent attempted install of fedora's rawhide I saw the following in my 
anaconda.log file.

<4>=============================================
<4>[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
<4>2.6.17-1.2571.fc6 #1
