Package: kmod Version: 5-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, The version 5 of kmod forks tenth of time to attempt to load one module. Notwithstanding I miss the point (does anything need a module loaded 40 times per milliseconds ?) it render a box nearly unusable. This is with a custom kernel (I have been workign on a few kernel patches but currently am on vanilla). Should happens also on debian ones as for example loading snd-hda-intel trigger the load of snd which loads snd-seq. Here I have no snd-seq-oss (I did not build it) so this fork forever happens while modprobe snd-seq. But it also happens because snd-ioctl32 is not there and I have been unable to find this module in the i686 conf. So it might well happens to all i386 users.
Reverting to libkmod1 and kmod 3-1 fixed the issue. I now get "Fatal: Module snd-seq-oss" messages but no more fork bombs.
