2.6.17-mm3: segvs in modpost with out-of-tree modules

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

I'm seeing SIGSEGVs in modpost when compiling the out-of-tree madwifi 
driver:

   /bin/sh: line 1: 3701 Segmentation fault scripts/mod/modpost -m -a
   -i /home/jeremy/hg/linux-2.6/Module.symvers -I

   /home/jeremy/svn/madwifi-ng/net80211/wlan_wep.o /home/jeremy
   /svn/madwifi-ng/net80211/wlan_xauth.o

The backtrace is:

#0  0x4e8017da in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x080491a7 in export_no (s=0x0) at modpost.c:209
#2  0x0804b5c3 in read_dump (
   fname=0xbff5fa9d "/home/jeremy/svn/madwifi-ng/Modules.symvers", kernel=0)
   at modpost.c:1312
#3  0x0804b88b in main (argc=21, argv=0xbff5def4) at modpost.c:1390

I haven't really looked at yet, but I was hoping someone had already 
tracked it down.
