Comment (by simonmar):

 Workaround from the mailing list (volodimir.rudenko at gmail.com):

 In GUI:
  * Menu System -> Administration -> Security Level and Firewall -> tab
 SELinux,
  * in the tree control open an item Other
  * turn on allow_execheap

 On command line (as root):
 {{{
        setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
 }}}
 There are three related "booleans" to try (just in case
 the trick above does not help)
 {{{
  allow_execmem
  allow_execmod
  allow_execstack
 }}}
 PS. This works for the targeted selinux policy, which is
 default in Fedora 5. There are also strict and mls policies.
 I am not selinux guru -I do not know if my workaround works
 for those policies.
