AFAIK there is no SELinux memory protection in FC4, so this particular
problem should not happen on that distro. The VPN client may be failing
for other non-memory-checking reasons. Look in /var/log/messages
and/or /var/log/audit/audit.log for "avc:  denied" after you have run
the client in permissive mode (setenforce 0) and see what crops up.
