I had precisely the same problem over a year ago, when I developed
that module, and made exactly the same config change. ;-) Only that I
blamed that on a possible bug in CIPE which I hunted for a day or two
to no effect...
The timer field in struct sock gets overwritten with some other stuff
by the mismatching module and the kernel tries to invoke a bogus
timer. If it was another field, it could have been a series of Oopses,
kernel panic, etc.

This way I learnt what MODVERSIONS is for. It is additional hassle to
compile but it prevents this kind of errors...
