Does the problem also exist when audit is first enabled?  Amy and I
were talking earlier and it seemed to be the case that when audit is
enabled, only new processes get audited so it would be a general
problem any time a system is booted without audit running, not
just when audit is re-enabled.  Do we have that right?
