for completeness on list, i should mention that i was modifying policy files during the make reloads.

stephen mentioned that apparently if inodes are using a SID that is deleted, no amount of subsequent make reloads will reattach the SID to that inode.

what happened because of what i was doing to my computer "fits" with this explanation.
