[2.6.11.6] Oops trying to remove module "bttv"

Hi all:

I am getting the following stack dump in the logs when I try to unload the
"bttv" kernel module ("rmmod bttv" ends with SIGSEGV). I have tried with
other kernel versions keeping "module-init-tools" version the same (Debian
3.1-rel-2), and realized that:
- - 2.6.10-rc3-bk15: OK
- - 2.6.11-rc-bk3: OK
- - 2.6.11-rc3: FAILS
- - 2.6.11.6: FAILS

So it seems the bug was introduced somewhere 2.6.11-rc-bk3 and 2.6.11-rc3.
Looking at the 2.6.11-rc2 to 2.6.11-rc3 Changelog there seems to be
several changesets related to video4linux, but apparently just one related
to the bttv.ko kernel module (changeset number 1.1966.2.154). I am,
however, not qualified to tell if the problem is there:
