I just tested this latest kernel. It seems to handle Kris's problem much 
better. I would be interested in getting feedback. Now that we are fully 
using the backlog buffer, does that solve the problem? There's 2 more fixups 
that we can make depending on what the feedback is.

On another note...I still don't see any shutdown messages:

[root at endeavor audit-rec]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/auditd restart
Stopping auditd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting auditd:                                           [  OK  ]

This is using the 686 kernel.
