Hmmm - screwups in modprobe - I was having some of these, while I was
testing kmod - then I remembered to upgrade my modutils to 2.1.85, and the
problem with modprobe crashing the kernel seemed to stop. There are a
couple of places where I simply copy the pointers to strings instead of
bothering to strcpy them, but I that shouldn't be a problem. Which module
was it inserting at the time?
