Fixed means that puppet uses libselinux-ruby bindings.  It also means
that only Fedora >= 9 will have selinux support.

I don't know what the odds are of getting libselinux-ruby built for
RHEL.  The versions are considerably different.  I haven't even looked
to see if the ruby bindings were part of upstream libselinux-1.33.4,
which is what RHEL-5 currently has (versus 2.0.73 on F-10).

(FWIW, it is a lot faster.  Who'd have thunk that forking a shell once
or twice for every file puppet touches would be so slow? ;)

Puppet-0.24.7rc1 was pushed out a week or so ago.  I'd expect the full
release within another week or so.
