HI,
	I have read source code in Audit-1.6.5 about auditd part. I looked up in=
to functions equeue_event(),event_thread_main() in Auditd-event.c,get_rep=
ly(),send_audit_event() and main function in Auditd.c. I don't know why i=
t must use a list (auditd_reply_list) here. It seems rep->next is never b=
e used and it's null so that the else branch of if (consumer_data.head =3D=
=3D NULL) in equeue_event() will never be reached.

	I feel unsure about above codes. Am I wrong?=20

Regards
Chu Li
