Thanks for taking the time to test, however, a few things ...

First, could you provide the /etc/audit/auditd.conf and /etc/audit/audit.rules 
files you used for your testing?  I don't understand configuration 
script/language you used above.

Second, I tested the patch against the audit tree's stable-3.18 branch, could 
you (re)test against 3.18-rcX instead of 3.10.X?  There have been a number of 
changes to the audit subsystem since 3.10 was released and it would surprise 
me if the patch I posted has problems on 3.10.X.

Thanks,
