117411 is a bug I posted. It seems to be a bug in 2.6.3. I have now updated to 
2.6.4 with the x86_64-2.6.4rc3 patch from ftp.x86-64.org and the problem has 
disappeared.

I have seen it work in i386 with the 2.6.3-2.1.xxx kernels. For instance my 
oss compat modules for alsa only load when they are needed.
