selinux problem I solved months ago

I had this problem weeks and weeks ago:

[root at mda-vm1h ~]# service httpd configtest
httpd: Syntax error on line 209 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax
error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/valicert.conf: Cannot load
/etc/httpd/modules/vcapache.so into server:
/etc/httpd/modules/vcapache.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc:
Permission denied

I solved it by creating an selinux module and "baking" it into my
kickstart.  Built many machines, all worked perfectly.

Now, I have three virtual machines I installed with the same kickstart,
and I'm getting the same problem.

[root at mda-vm1h ~]# ls -lZ /etc/httpd/modules/vcapache.so
-rwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:httpd_modules_t
/etc/httpd/modules/vcapache.so

razor   1.1.0
ricci   1.0.0
smartmon        1.1.0
valicert        1.0

There it is, at the end.  I removed and reinstalled it with no effect.
It's data, so I can't cat it out, but that module worked... unless this
is some new, different problem.

Is there more magic sauce that has to be added?
