Description Justin Brown 2015-06-12 21:44:56 UTC 
While attempting to stat (user space) any file there is undefined behaviour on the output at the end of the string representing the file's permissions.

Recreate it:
You can follow the steps from this wiki page to build an image that performs similarly. http://elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMaxYoctoProject

It can be recreated on at least the fido branch.

This problem only occurred on the boards of us using the dizzy branch of poky and meta-intel. The problem has so far not been recreated on the fido branch.
