Could be a duplicate of bug 901812.
Yes it is the same problem.
In /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2013-02-24-09:29:21-848 there should be a core dump file. Can you attach that file? Can you also include rpm -qa libse\* \*policy\* ? Thanks!
We have a potential race where we are writing the regex and an app attempts to read it, which this could happen. libselinux-2.1.12-7.2.fc18 makes this atomic.
Confirmed fixed with the above version.
