Sre you sure you used the second version? The first version missed the
cleanup at module unload time, and would have caused the symptoms you
see.

I just tried my own machine with modules (and list debugging), and it
seemed fine. And it show now all happen under the module mutex, so I
don't see how it would be timing-sensitive.

But hey, maybe I'm missing something really silly.
