linux-2.1.90 and oopses when delete_module(2)ing: sb.o is guilty

I've got 2.1.90 compiled with egcs-980315, binutils-2.1.8.0.23,
-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium

SoundBlaster as a module (really, most everything is a module).

After some experimentation, I can now confirm that this combination oopses
and thrashes the module list whenever sb is delete_module(2)ed. Other
modules (misc, lp, parport, parport_probe, parport_pc, slip, slhc, floppy)
can be inserted and removed at will, no problems.

There seem to be no substantial changes to the module handling in the files
that make up sb.o, I'm stumped (and tired). Will take a closer look
tomorrow.
