It does seem to work for me now.  Could people having this problem
please check the size of /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz and try to
run portaudit -Fa to refetch the database and check again?

For reference:

[simon@zaphod:/tmp] ls -l /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.tbz
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  31762  6 Nov 22:40 /var/db/portaudit/auditfile.t=
bz

There have been one previous report where a problem with the portaudit
database build resulted in an incomplete auditfile which was then
fixed after the next portaudit database rebuild.
