subject: [PATCH] Bug fix for load_policy

When the SELinux module is in permissive mode, a bug in the convert_contexts function used by the load_policy function can leave the SID table in an inconsistent state when users, roles, or types are removed from the policy on a running system. The attached patch fixes this bug. To apply, save the attached patch to ~/services.patch, cd selinux, and run 'patch -p1 < services.patch'. Then, rebuild the LSM-patched kernel with the built-in SELinux security module.
