Final update on this problem.  I have gotten things working, and it was a Kernel 
issue as I was starting to suspect.  Seems that the MODVERSIONS option for 
supporting multiple old versions of modules was messing things up.  I have 
disabled this, recompiled the Kernel and Module and everything is working fine.

I realize this is a little off topic for the Busybox mailing list, but I didn't 
want to leave an open ended thread with no final solution.

Thanks Peter for your help on this issue.  It was greatly appreciated, and now I 
have a new stable toolchain to work with because of your suggestions.  Thanks.

Andrew
