I am running an updated Fedora Core 3 - on both machines which have the
problem. I used rpms from Fedora Core 4 to update the system, this led
to a chain of updates, mkinitrd, udev, initscripts and a few others
with cross dependencies.

Still puzzled about what could have been fixed in user space since this
appears to affect more than one shell. Module loading appears to be
very synchronous, so unless the shell was not waiting for exit status
on children correctly, it seems hard to explain in user space.
