This error (in blue italics) was noted in the cron log file after
bringing the system up.
Was unable to locate information in the manual pages or in bugzilla
that discussed this error or "getfilecon", though I suspect this is
SELinux specific. Don't know if this represents a bug or something
less sinister, so brought it to this list for insight.
