From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8) Gecko/20071030 Fedora/2.0.0.8-2.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.8

Description of problem:
Summary
    SELinux is preventing kudzu (kudzu_t) "write" to pipe (unconfined_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by kudzu. It is not expected that this
    access is required by kudzu and this access may signal an intrusion attempt.
    It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
    application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
    You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable
    SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not
    recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
    against this package.
