The short version of what I found is that the missing PATH records
always appear in the raw logs, but both ausearch and auparse fail to
return some PATH records with their associated SYSCALL record.  A PATH
record gets ignored when another syscall event record occurs between
the SYSCALL record and the PATH record.

I'll send you a long version of my results off line as the data to
support the report is voluminous.
