Scary problem with update of selinux-policy-targeted-sources on FC3

I'm doing a yum update on a newly installed FC3 box, and the upgrade 
always hangs (for up to 1/2 hour, I have always killed it after that) 
when it gets to upgrading selinux-policy-targeted-sources:

Updating: gnumeric 100 % done 315/892
Updating: gnome-media 100 % done 316/892
Updating: xemacs 100 % done 317/892
Updating: tkinter 100 % done 318/892
Updating: selinux-policy-strict-sources 100 % done 319/892
Updating: selinux-policy-targeted-sources 100 % done 320/892

... and then it just sits there.

I did a ps aux on the machine at that point, and I see:

bin/sh /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.64925 2
root     11538  0.0  0.0  5596 1148 pts/1    S+   13:10   0:00 /bin/sh 
/sbin/fixfiles -C /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.pre 
restore
root     11557  0.0  0.0  5596 1196 pts/1    S+   13:10   0:00 /bin/sh 
/sbin/fixfiles -C /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.pre 
restore
root     11701  2.2  0.0  3712  740 pts/1    S+   13:10   0:01 find 
/nfs/home ( -fstype ext2 -o -fstype ext3 -o -fstype reiserfs -o -fstype 
xfs ) -print

/nfs/home is NFS-mounted.  Why is a find command recursing through it, 
when it seems to specify local filesystems? 

I disabled SElinux in the initial install.  If I now remove the 
SElinx-related packages the install will finish without problems.

This is kind of scary.  What is going on?
