OK, here's what happened:
We had added /opt/PostgreSQL/8.4/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in
/etc/profile as we wanted our in-house python daemon to use PostgreSQL 8.4
client as we were seeing memory leak using 8.1 but not 8.4.
Turned out there was a libxml2.so.2 in the PostgreSQL lib directory
and the httpd was trying
to pick it up instead of /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2, and failing as it
had a "usr_t" instead of "lib_t" label.

I fixed this by adding "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to /etc/init.d/httpd. Now we load
/usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2 which has the correct label (lib_t)
I think I'll change this by moving the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting from /etc/profile
into the startup script for the python daemon, so I can have a vanilla
/etc/init.d/httpd
Thank you very much for your help!
