Sigh.  I coulda sworn I tested this in December, but it's definitely
busted now:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149237
(I might have messed up by only testing PG 8.0 --- 8.0 does not have
this problem, since initdb is no longer a shell script.)

The short-term workaround is to temporarily disable selinux
(sudo /usr/sbin/setenforce 0) while you initialize the database.
