'top' output

Description of problem:
I have a dual-core Intel x86_64 processor (Lenovo T61 laptop). It has been responding slowly to user input since a recent software update. 'top' shows setroubleshootd is using between 55% and 70% in the '%CPU' column and 'System Monitor' is showing both cores being used 80% to 95% when the machine is supposedly standing idle.

In addition, 'SELinux Alert Browser' is popping up an alert which makes no sense: it has the following information:
The source process: label
Attempted this access: label
On this file: label
None of the buttons in the applet has any effect: I cannot delete, ignore, troubleshoot, notify admin or see details.  The applet shows zero alerts. 'List All Alerts' opens a window, but this has no content other than the headings. 

I am assuming the setroubleshootd CPU usage problem and the SELinux AVC report problem have the same cause, which is why I have made a single report.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-3.0.38-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
Normal use of system. I have tried killing the setroubleshoot process and rebooting, but the problems persist.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Heavy use of processor cores; invalid AVC denial report.


Expected results:
Cores should be showing low use at idle, AVC reports should be valid and reportable.


Additional info:
The problem started with a recent software update.
