While testing the upcoming binutils-2.6.0.7(+) some strange things
in modules-1.3.57 were discovered (or provoced)...
Please try the two patches available on <http://www.pi.se/blox/modules/>
The second patch is actually quite small, so I'm posting it here as well:

I think it is a side-effect of "the Big BSS Cleanup" after modules-1.1.87,
so the patches might be applicable to "modules-1.2.8" as well...
When I'm satisfied that the patches are correct, I will make yet another
release of the module support utilities.
Watch my web-pages! (The docs are also slowly creeping out on the web...)
