I got the same, and tracked it down to a type in module.c. The following patch fixes the problem:
diff -ur 2.1.24/linux/kernel/module.c linux/kernel/module.c --- 2.1.24/linux/kernel/module.c Mon Jan 27 18:55:40 1997 +++ linux/kernel/module.c Tue Jan 28 21:58:32 1997 @@ -583,7 +583,7 @@ calc_space_needed: for (; i < mod->nsyms; ++i, ++s) - space += strlen((++s)->name)+1; + space += strlen(s->name)+1; if (put_user(space, ret)) return -EFAULT;
