This has been seen before on FC5:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2006-June/msg00021.html

It appears to happen when postfix is started. The AVC suggests that the
manpage already has the correct context, and the strange thing is that
the postfix master program is tying to access it (why should that be?).

What did you change the context of, and what was it previously?
