I'm hitting this bug as well, bisected to this commit.  On an old
x64_64 box, no vms, paravirt, etc.  Running FC6 userspace (heh).

Quite late in initscripts, binaries start getting segmentation faults
and init gives up.  Seems to only affect /usr/bin/rhgb-client.  There's
one instance where /bin/rm is said to segfault, but I suspect that's
init lying to me.
