I'm running in permissive mode.

I'm seeing a netlink open to the audit:

dbus-daem 1057 messagebus    7u  netlink 0t0  15248 AUDIT

Apparently audit_send() returns -1

I've been to reproduce this on F23 as well.

BTW if I'm trying to compile audit with gcc optimization disabled (-O0) 
I get:

libtool: link: gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O0 -fstack-protector-strong 
-Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--as-needed -o 
.libs/auvirt auvirt.o auvirt-list.o ausearch-time.o  -L../../auparse 
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/build/auparse/.libs/libauparse.so
auvirt.o: In function `process_machine_id_event':
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/debian/build/tools/auvirt/../../../../tools/auvirt/auvirt.c:484: 
undefined reference to `copy_str'
