The first user that logs in will not be caught by restorecond. The utmp
checking function only returns that there was a change when the previous
list of users was non-NULL.
Here's a patch that works for me (this is against the latest Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 policycoreutils release, but I checked the current
source tree and the same problem is present):
Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

With kernel 2.6.31, restorecond uses 99% of my CPU.
This is because removing and readding the watch on utmp triggers inotify to
return an IN_IGNORED event for the old watch descriptor. If the watch gets
allocated the same wd when it is readded, then restorecond thinks that utmp
has changed, so removes and readds the watch again, potentially looping.
With kernel <= 2.6.30, this never happened, because the kernel didn't reuse
watch descriptors. So the IN_IGNORED event comes with a wd that is no
longer in use, and gets ignored. But kernel 2.6.31 reuses the same watch
descriptor.
This patch fixes that by ignoring inotify events whose only bit set is
IN_IGNORED.
Note: it is not clear to me why it is necessary to remove and readd the
watch in the first place.
Note for testing: you need to log in (to cause a change in utmp) after
starting restorecond to trigger the bug. In fact you need to log in twice
before the kernel reuses a watch descriptor.

Multiple patches to policycoreutils.
First added /root/.ssh and /root/.ssh/* to allow people to place keys
in /root directory and have them labeled by restorcond

Clean up permissive domains creation in semanage so it does not leave
crap in /var/lib/selinux

Also have fixfiles operate recursively when in RPM mode, per:

If a package owned a directory like /var/lib/libvirt/images, when it is
relabeling we would want it to relabel not only the directory but the
contents of the directory

Init script should be 755
libflashplayer.so has moved in the homedir and is now correct so no
longer needs to have labeling checked.
restorecond supports glob matching and should not complain on multiple
hard links if they match a glob.
So if a file has > 1 link and is an exact match complain, otherwise do not.
Also fix a couple of error messages.

I have added supported for GLOB expressions in restorecond. In order to
get nsplugin to work well, you need all of the contents of the homedir
labeled correctly. Unfortunately gnome creates directories at a fairly
random pace. FCFS. So it is very difficult to get transitions to
happen properly. As a tradeoff, we can use restorecond to watch the
homedir and relabel the directory when it is created. I know this is a
potential race condition. where some of the files created in the
directory will still have the wrong context, but I don't know of a
better solution.
Telling everyone they need to restorcon -R -v ~ is not a great solution.
If you are worried about information flow you should never rely on
restorecond.
