Ich, that'd be like pulling your toenails out with your teeth
through the ball of your foot :(
Anyway, following the corollary to Murphys Law which states
that having asked for help, the problem will solve itself,

which was hidden because the overrun was somehow getting
whatever code ran after init_module. :(
*sigh*
At least the *&U&^(@)ing thing now works....
