Many thanks Eric - I just tried unsetting the boolean -
# setsebool -P allow_unconfined_mmap_low 0
Excel and Word 2003 still run in Crossover after resetting it without AVCs
popping up - I will unset it in the other machines where I have this also -
I guess selinux policy may have changed so that setting it as I did originally
is no longer necessary.
