Don't know if it's the same problem, but I found after updating
selinux-policy-targeted via up2date about half an hour ago that I
suddenly was unable to start any programs.  I'm now only able to
boot with enforce=0 or selinux=0 (I have tried touch /.autorelabel).

Possibly relevant stuff:

from /var/log/messages:
Jun 27 18:19:51 localhost kernel: audit(1119896346.517:0): avc:  denied 
  { execmod } for  pid=1 comm=init path=/lib/tls/libc-2.3.5.so dev=hda3

# /usr/sbin/getsebool allow_execmod
allow_execmod --> active
# rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-3.13
# uname -r
2.6.11-1.14_FC3

Will try rolling back when I have more time.
