I've a full set for C5 on ZM 1.23 -- the SElinux blissful 
unawareness of that code is startling, as it is doing 'unsafe' 
operations all over the place.  Running it on a dedicated 
appliance box and treating it as a vulnerable client to a 
SELinux enabled network using network sockets, is about the 
only way to run it safely

1.24 looks 'doable', although perhaps not without some C6 
libraries -- I see it in rawhide, and in F, after F13, as I 
recall
