Relevant quote is:

I am seeing this as well.  It has bitten me most when trying to update. 
gcj-dbtool get stuck and yum sits there waiting on it.  Running "for((;;)); do
killall gcj-dbtool; sleep 1; done" allows yum to get through updating, but I'm
sure my java stuff is a mess.  I think I'm also seeing this affect mono apps,
like beagle.  Running beagle-search just sits there.  Attaching to it with gdb
shows:

Let me know what I can do to help with debugging this problem.

I can confirm that this is fixed in 2.6.15-1.1939_FC5. I'm closing this one: the
underlying kernel problem is also being tracked in bug #180567.
