We've dropped the performance patch from the audit git tree for the time 
being. I don't know if Andrew has refreshed his tree against the audit git 
tree so that its dropped in his kernels, too.

I don't know if the performance patch was causing all your problems. But it 
would be a worthwhile test to see if the lspp.14 kernel still has this 
problem. The lspp.14 kernel is better for us to troubleshoot since we know 
exactly what patches are applied to it.

Thanks,
