There's a good chance the action in question isn't an accident and some aspect
of the program's functionality will be changed. I think it's best to have an
idea of what the issue was before putting in a dontaudit rule, if some
configuration of that program actually needs such functionality then a
dontaudit will make it inconvenient to track it down.
Have you tried running strace or ltrace to see what it's doing?
