Firestarter RPM selinux errors

The firestarter RPM cause selinux errors on shutdown and other errors on 
startup.  These errors have ben tracked down to the line "sh 
/etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start" which
starts firestarter independent of the firestater init script.  Removing 
this line solves the selinux errors and the firewall policy still seems 
to be in effect.  I am theroizing that the line above is executed when 
the dhclient daemon attempts to shutdown  as well as start thus 
attempting to start the firewall while closing the interface.  I think 
this is what selinux is flagging.  The line also causes some errors on 
interface startup.  Does this line have a useful purpose?
