Yes. I've been seeing it off and on for a few weeks.
Did an FCt3 install earlier this afternoon.
First thing I did after booting was up2date -fu, and its still
sitting there doing its thing nearly two hours later.

strace on the up2date process shows its up to all sorts of things,
including stat() of .hdr files for s390/ppc/x86_64 and other archs
that are irrelevant to this box (i386).
