"This can happen" is not an acceptable explanation, I think. Modules should not be able to kill the kernel -- apart from that, I can trigger the bug in the very early "ash-system" that KNOPPIX provides. At that time, the modules listed below were the only ones loaded -- no others, and I am also sure that until that point, no modules were unloaded. sbp2 ohci1394 usb_storage ub ehci_hcd usbcore -- .''`.
