running boinc produces numerous selinux alerts ('top' shows setroubleshootd taking up to 70% cpu)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.9.16-50.fc15.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. start the boinc_client

This bug was fixed for F16 but not in F15. I have two PCs running boinc, and both are now spending most of their time dealing with alerts. Both run F15.
Please backport the fix to F15.

Many thanks for fixing this so quickly. Please close the bug report.
