Something goes horribly wrong with your patch applied, and I'm not sure
why:

$ sudo ./aa-status --profiled
96
$ sudo python3  ./aa-status --profiled
96
$ quilt push
Applying patch ../patches/aa-status-crash.patch
patching file utils/aa-status

Now at patch ../patches/aa-status-crash.patch
$ sudo ./aa-status --profiled
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./aa-status", line 201, in <module>
    commands[cmd]()
  File "./aa-status", line 22, in cmd_profiled
    profiles = get_profiles()
  File "./aa-status", line 99, in get_profiles
    profiles[match.group(1)] = match.group(2)
TypeError: 'unicode' object does not support item assignment
$ sudo python3  ./aa-status --profiled
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./aa-status", line 201, in <module>
    commands[cmd]()
  File "./aa-status", line 22, in cmd_profiled
    profiles = get_profiles()
  File "./aa-status", line 99, in get_profiles
    profiles[match.group(1)] = match.group(2)
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment

I'm trying to dig into it.
