              This option lets you 
              determine how you want the kernel  to  handle  critical  errors.
              Example conditions where this flag is consulted includes: trans‐
              mission  errors  to  userspace  audit  daemon,   backlog   limit
              exceeded,  out  of  kernel  memory, and rate limit exceeded. The
              default value is 1.

This is only for the kernel. User space error handling is dictated by the 
*_action settings in auditd.conf.
