Well I almost wrote "the kernel will refuse" and then thought better of it and substituted "the kernel should refuse." I know that when I tried it just on a few of my modules that are currently loaded it refused to unload them on the grounds that they were in use, so it certainly "means" to detect the condition, but I must admit at not being shocked that it might not always be able to properly tell. | | These senior moments are terrible...
