Hi,

I have reported bug in Debian bug tracker [1] that after upgrading to Debian 8, aureport does not finish it's 
"reporting" for hours one some inputs, generated by ausearch. It's stuck with 100% CPU usage.

Since maintainer haven't responded yet, I though I could try for help directly here.

More info, and two example input files for reproducing attached in same bug report.

I wonder, would it be... "reasonable" to hope for some kind isolated patch that Debian maintainer could apply and 
release fix for Debian 8 which is currently in "stable" mode? I know it's kinda not the mailing list to ask about it, 
but maybe you have experience in that regard?

Thanks!
