File a bug report for starters. It would really help to get some 
diagnostic information. To do this edit 
/etc/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot.cfg, find the section in the cfg file 
label setroubleshootd_log, in that section change the value of level to 
debug and then restart setroubleshootd with

/sbin/service setroubleshoot restart

After it misbehaves stop the service with

/sbin/service setroubleshoot stop

Then attach the logfile /var/log/setroubleshoot/setroubleshootd.log to 
the bug report.

Thank you.
