[apparmor] debugging aa_change_profile

Thanks a lot for catching this. By now it should be obvious that my
experience with C is close to your experience with R. The pointers are
still confusing me. I am used to programming in Java/Javascript where
everything is a reference, or in R where everything is a value (no
references at all). Either way, once my Ubuntu upgrade is done (only 3
hours remaining) I am going to apply your patch and see if I can get
things to work.

Ah cool I wasn't aware of this feature. Prefixing a line with audit
will do some additional logging?

That is actually how people generally use R. It is meant as an
interactive console. Statistics is very much a trial and error
practice :-)
