Steve,

Can I suggest you modify src/ausearch-lol.c:check_events() to add in the
AUDIT_PROCTITLE check (will reduce memory overhead as events will be
flushed faster).
Also can we ask Richard put a comment into the appropriate location in
the kernel code to indicate the link between ausearch/aurport/auparse
depending on AUDIT_PROCTITLE being the last record of an event if
present.

Regards
