Make xconfig-->security options:

XFRM Networking security hooks

 and several others just below it.  Unforch, I can't copy/paste the screen.  
My next build will be with the above option turned off for grins & giggles.
However, I have about 16 bundles of shingles yet to sail up onto a roof & nail 
down in the cooler parts of the day till I'm done.  Taken last evening, I'm 
on the right.

I posted the whole screen from setroubleshoot earlier.

F8, selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-109.fc8
selinux-policy-3.0.8-109.fc8
policycoreutils-gui-2.0.33-3.fc8
checkpolicy-2.0.4-1.fc8
policycoreutils-2.0.33-3.fc8
selinux-policy-devel-3.0.8-109.fc8

System has been relabeled twice now, no change, and the setroubleshoot command 
suggested doesn't fix it.
