Thanks for the suggestion, Paul. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I 
setenforced back to 1 after running your commands, and the old 
behavior returned. I setenforced back to 0 again, and things 
started working. Do I need to undo anything that your command 
did? I'm sorry, but I don't know enough to understand what your 
suggestion did.
I was just trying to file a bug report for Fedora, but they don't 
include a selinux component in the list. Should I be filing this 
bug directly with selinux? I looked briefly on the selinux nsa 
site, but didn't see a bugzilla page...
