A question on the right behavior of libprotoc.so.4.0.0.

On a CentOS 5.1, I downloaded and installed the latest protocol buffer
2.1. Make check runs fine. Then when I tried to do make under the ./
example directory, SELinux reports that "protoc attempted to load /usr/
local/lib/libprotoc.so.4.0.0 which requires text relocation. This is a
potential security problem. "

The command I run is simply:
protoc --cpp_out=. addressbook.proto

which reports from CLI that "cannot restore segment proc after reloc:
Permission Denied"

While I don't believe the code has malicious intention, just curious
that is this "text relocation" inside libprotoc.so.4.0.0 a correct
behavior? I hesitate to allow the this exception in SELinux before I
get confirmation.

Thanks,
Hank
