PPP as module

I recently upgraded to 2.1.24, with Modutils 2.1.23. I am compiling
as much as possible as modules. Whenever I try to insmod PPP, I get
a segfault. Here is a snip from syslog:

Is there a solution, other than compiling PPP into the kernel? I have had
the same problem with msdosfs, vfatfs, umsdosfs, etc... and would like to
be able to use all modules.

Thanks.
