I'd guess no, from these symptoms.  These look like something from 
startup.

Also, I can report that I just installed Matlab 7.0.4 r14 SP2 on FC4, with 
selinux in enforcing mode using the latest targeted policy.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to this thread before I installed it 
myself.  What was your issue again?
