Of course there are some potential issues if the machine crashes at this 
point.  However if you are running a SE Linux machine in non-SE mode then you 
probably have bigger problems than this.  Also the old SE Linux with 
the ...security directory had problems like this on unexpected crashes, and 
I'm not sure that the use of XATTR's will solve this problem.
