OO2.4.1, after being installed via an update from 2.4,
aborts immediately on Fedora Core 7 (and most likely later versions)
because of an SELinux 'execheap' violation.   

I will attach the complete error report from SELinux.   But in essence it
says the program contains incorrect code which is a security risk.

The SELinux web site discusses how to write code which avoids this problem
(it says to use mmap to allocate anonymous storage for generated code,
not malloc + mprotect)

Please see the 'execheap' section of
