The thing to note, and i probably wasn't very clear,is that the module loaded initially without any problems,but in the process of debugging, I unload it, rebuiltit and try to load it again, which it then fails> > > Actually, I'll  get an entry for all my > > exported symbols.

This particular module is not dependant on any other modules, thoughother modules are dependant on it. It's choking on the symbols I'mtrying to export. 
 
After the reboot, the module loads fine. I'm suspecting that a
