[uClibc]"Out of Memory" modutils error...

[Tom Cameron]

Hello all,
	When I try to insmod a module, I get an "Out of Memory" error
from insmod.  Modprobe also gives me this error.  I dynamically compiled
the modutils vs. uClibc instead of Glibc (I don't like bloated
software).  It is Modutils version 2.3.17.  My first question is, Is
this a bug...and should I report it to the bug tracking system?  My next
question is, Will using the 2.4.x version (I'm using a 2.4.3 kernel)
solve the problem. Here's a (retyped) transcript from my session.

~~~~~~~~~~~

~ # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
VFS: Can't find a romfs filesystem on dev 02:00.
mount: Mounting /dev/fd0 on /mnt failed: Invalid argument
~ # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt
Feb 28 21:38:31 modprobe: modprobe: Out of memory
mount: Mounting /dev/fd0 on /mnt failed: No such device
~ # modprobe -V
modprobe version 2.3.17
modprobe: Out of memory
~ #

~~~~~~~~~~~

	I have compiled uClibc with "HAS_MMU = true", "HAS_FLOATS =
true", "HAS_LONG_LONG = true", "MALLOC = malloc", "UNIFIED_SYSCALL =
true", and all the other settings as their default values (for
i386/Config.x86).  Anyone know off the top of their head what could be
wrong?  I have decided not to use the standard BB modutils due to the
limitations on them (kernel can't automatically insmod a module, etc.),
and I'd prefer to keep it this way (unless someone adds these features
into BB...which has already been spoken about on the BB list).  Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks all!
