grep setroubleshoot /var/log/audit/audit.log

The setroubleshooter has nothing to do with SELinux protections.  It job
is to watch for SELinux errors (avc's in /var/log/audit/audit.log), and
then to try to translate them into actions that the user can execute.

The problem is if it sees an AVC about itself, it can try to act on it,
which might generate an AVC on itself, which it can act on, which might
generate and AVC on itself ...

So we have it commit suicide when it sees avc's on itself.
