There should be a PATH record for every open. Have you verified the logs or 
trusting ausearch? (Trying to figure out if there is a kernel problem or 
search problem.) As a first step, I'd construct some kind of regex command to 
see if you can verify that the kernel is recording PATH records for all 
opens. You may need to narrow the test case so that there aren't as many 
records to dig through.
