I thought that perhaps I might be able to get rid of the flakiness
by re-installing texlive.

I downloaded the install-tl-unx.tar.gz tarball from

     http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

The texlive that comes with fedora 17 is texlive 2007, the version from the tug link is texlive 2013.  On my system I used yum to remove texlive, then downloaded the .iso from tug, mounted the iso, installed from that and it works fine.
