To add more details, I have now read the manpage for selinux, 
touched /.autorelabel and rebooted after setting selinux back to 
enforcing.  It did re-run the autolabeling function on the reboot. 

No change, an attempt to run acroread from the icon fails, and from the 
cli, this message is output:

[root@diablo ~]# acroread
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while 
loading shared 
libraries: /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/lib/libJP2K.so: 
cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

I've investigated the system-config-securitylevel thing, which FWIW 
thought it was in the enforcing mode when /etc/selinux/config said 
otherwise, so thats obviously broken right there, and went thru the 
menu's looking for something to check or uncheck but didn't find any 
'suspects' that might control the above.

This subject has been noted, at some length now in this and similar 
threads, with no one offering a helpfull comment so far. Is this 
something that only the NSA can answer?  Or is there an FM I haven't 
read because I don't know of its existance so I can do the RT portion?
