semanage segmentation fault? (awstats)

Look I tried to intall awstats-6.6-1.fc7.noarch.rpm from Fedora release 
on Fedora 7 64-bit and got segmentation fault in semanage I think.

First I tried this:

[root at srv-1 download]# rpm --install ./awstats-6.6-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71040: line 12:  3964 Segmentation fault      semanage 
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t 
'/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin(/.*)?' 2> /dev/null
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71040: line 13:  3965 Segmentation fault      semanage 
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t '/var/lib/awstats(/.*)?' 2> /dev/null

Then I realised I have HTTP server on, so I thought I will turn it off 
and try again (on the way I had to erase the RPM because it was 
considered "installed").

Then this happened:

[root at srv-1 download]# rpm --install ./awstats-6.6-1.fc7.noarch.rpm
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.21042: line 12:  3995 Segmentation fault      semanage 
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t 
'/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin(/.*)?' 2> /dev/null
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.21042: line 13:  3996 Segmentation fault      semanage 
fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t '/var/lib/awstats(/.*)?' 2> /dev/null

I do not know what /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.* is, but I suppose that is an RPM 
install script or something which comes with RPM (right?). After these 2 
steps the /var/tmp directory was empty so I couldn't examine that file.

After that I downloaded awstats-6.7-2.fc7.noarch.rpm from Fedora updates 
and it installed fine (although I haven't tested it yet).

I have also found this in /var/log/messages:

What do you think guys?
