Removal of audit rules with audit start

Hi,

I found that when I stop auditd, any existing audit rules still exist, but
they are
deleted when I restart using audit-0.6.2.  Is this new behavior deliberate
and
preferred?  Is there a new option to not delete rules on startup?  All our
tests
are stopping and restarting auditd between assertions and cleaning out the
log file to reduce clutter.  We'll need to change the tests if this will no
longer
work.  If users have a lot of rules created but have to bring down auditd
for
some reason, won't this be a problem?

Thanks!
