Yes it would. It can break more than ausearch. For example, there could be an
analysis script that does this:
while au.parse_next_event():
if au.find_field("new_gid"):
do_something()
Changing the event would cause the program to not find the event it was looking
for.

I took most of these changes and added some more changes of my own. A revised
copy has been uploaded.
