Re: .127/.128 weirdness

I just found another weird part.

I have been playing with CIPE, a secure IPIP tunnel program from Olaf
Titz. If I compile 2.1.128 UP, cipe can not load its module. I get:

modprobe: can't locate module

That's it, no module name. It is as if it is trying to load a module named
"". If I preload the module by hand, I get the same thing, it can not tell
that the module is already loaded and tries to load a module with no name.
If I compile 2.1.128 SMP with modversions, it works just fine. UP will not
work with or without modversions. I did not test 128 SMP without versions.

pre-2.1.129-1 loads the module properly even compiled UP but will not run
long due to the same apparent scheduler bug as .127 and .128 and will not
compile (for me) as SMP (serial fails to compile as a module, for
example).

This same version of cipe works fine with 2.0.35.
