No - since I was not running auditd it didn't get written in user space. But
the clip I show is directly from the audit buffer returned by
audit_get_reply (I poked the \0 onto the end of the buffer)

audit(1178324383.479:1566): cwd=2F70726F632F35373336202864656C6574656429\000

Could you tell me what you get when you pull this event's record out with
ausearch -i ?
