If you can reproduce the same problem with some GPL version of
standalone (even dummy) code, then come back and see us sometime.


Best I can see in the sources, the only place cd_forget() (for
removing a character device) is called is from clear_inode()
in inode.c. This is never called by unregister_chrdev().
