Works just fine here. Do you get any audit messages from SELinux?
no
The problem was clearly the kernel. Upgrading from 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 to 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3, which just came over the network today, fixed this problem... I find this troubling to discover given the reaction to the bug report I got. Also, IMHO, the new kernel splits out a '-devel' rpm that is not installed when one does an rpm -Fvh, even though, it should be since this is a new split of functionality.
I have abandoned FC3 in favor of FC4
