That's my guess as well: on the RHEL setup this was stripping a legitimate
character. Maybe there is some seperator or whitespace character that is
present on f8? If anyone has a bonding setup on fedora they could probably
paste their /sys/class/net/bonding_masters (and possibly a hexdump of it)
and we could fix this.
