selinux denying access to "unknown"

System is a fresh install of RHEL 5.2

[root at testbed ~]# service httpd start

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd (httpd_t) "execstack" access
to
    <Unknown> (httpd_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/httpd. It is not
expected that
    this access is required by /usr/sbin/httpd and this access may
signal an
    intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
    configuration of the application is causing it to require additional
access.
    Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this
    package.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could
try to
    restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v
    <Unknown>. There is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
    Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access
- see
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 - or you
can
    disable SELinux protection entirely for the application. Disabling
SELinux
    protection is not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this
package.
    Changing the "httpd_disable_trans" boolean to true will disable
SELinux
    protection this application: "setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=1."

    The following command will allow this access:
    setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=1

How am I supposed to figure out what it's unhappy about if it won't tell
me?
