Mmontg1,

I hope, I fixed Your problem with commit

    e6b4529e2162affa68a36c3cae7b5050101f2431

You can either wait for Spacewalk 1.6 release. Or manually apply the
patch and restart services.

Either way, you will need to remove affected packages (at least acct,
but perhaps more) and rhnpush them again.

Thanks for the report,
