The only variable set is LANG and it is set to: en_US.UTF-8

This is the rpm -qi for the package (policycoreutils) I believe is crashing it.

Summary     : SELinux policy core utilities.
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux.  The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.

policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
for basic operation of a SELinux system.  These utilities include
load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
context.

It dies when it hits the description field.  I'm guessing its the ® characters
that it is having problems with.  Something else to note is that smart has no
problem with "smart info policycoreutils" The problem only arises when I do a
full listing using just "smart info".

When I direct the output of "smart info" to a log, this is what I'm seeing:
