You may have forgotten to send a body; but yes genksysms is brittle and upstream development on it stopped years ago. Put an attribute someplace unexpected and the parser will silently fail, making the modversions hash all zeros, which doesn't protect you from loading a potentially harmful module with different function signature. If you're planning on attending plumbers, I plan to put together a brief talk on the subject. -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
