I saw this issue on these combinations of Fedora systems and Ant versions:
Fedora 10 (i386 | x86_64 | ppc) Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on 
October 1 2008
Fedora 11 (i386 | x86_64)       Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on 
February 24 2009
Fedora 12 (i386 | x86_64)       Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on 
August 13 2009
