Hmm...I don't think what we are getting is expected or useful. It would be 
nice to know what the paths are instead of NULL. It would also be highly 
desirable to get some basic information recorded about what module is getting 
loaded in an aux record. Especially since loading modules are how system tap 
and some of the kernel bug patching tools get loaded.
