I think I found the problem.

'ps' tries to find and open 'libselinux.so'.  At some point this library was
moved from libselinux to libselinux-devel.  Since I didn't have
libselinux-devel installed, ps failed to load the library and find the selinux
context information.

Installing libselinux-devel fixes the problem.

I see three possible ways to fix this:

1) Move libselinux.so back to libselinux
2) Add 'Requires: libselinux-devel' to procps
3) Fix ps to load libselinux.so.1 instead of the unversioned .so file.
