updatedb error

Hi,

I was trying to update using updatedb but I had the following error message:

Code:

[root@localhost noha]# updatedb
updatedb: src/updatedb.c:721: scan_cwd: Assertion `name_size > 1' failed.
Aborted
[root@localhost noha]#

What is this? and how may I solve it?
I use an AMD 64 Athlon machine equipped with Fedora 7.

This is a bug in FC7:

Solution:

# updatedb --add-prunepaths /sys
