Bug description:
  SRU

  1. when loading, unloading and replacing policy, AppArmor leaves a
  message in kern.log. When aa-logprof encounters this, it will spew
  many confusing warning messages.

  2. The bug has not been addressed in the development branch (natty is
  not open yet)

  3. Patch is from r1440 of 2.5 branch (linked to this bug)

  4. TEST CASE:
  $ echo 'Oct 14 07:14:13 bug652674 kernel: [ 5.429706] type=1400 audit(1287058453.835:9): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" name="/usr/share/gdm/guest-session/Xsession" pid=1201 comm="apparmor_parser"' > /tmp/log
  $ sudo aa-logprof -f /tmp/log # may be prompted to enable the repository. Choose 'Ask later'

  5. The regression potential is considered low. The fix does not affect
  the boot or shutdown process.

  
  Binary package hint: apparmor

  When aa-logprof runs into log messages that don't have denied or
  requested masks, like the following status message, it ends up trying
  to perform a string operation on an undefined variable which causes
  warnings to be printed to the console.

      [    9.633452] type=1400 audit(1285899118.285:5):
  apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_replace" name="/sbin/dhclient3"
  pid=912 comm="apparmor_parser"

  I'm attaching a patch to fix this.
