Greetings! This is a known bug. Andrea Archangeli has a "VM-global"
patch against some of the 2.2.18-pre which is reported to work.
My understanding is that there is still investigation as to whether
this patch fixes the problem in the best manner. Should not be too
difficult to edit for 2.2.17
The ramfs kmap() vs. page_address() bugfix which went into test11-pre2
broke the usage limits patch I've posted here earlier. Following is an
updated diff made against test11-pre5 incorporating that bugfix.

If my understanding is correct, you need to include version.h without
"#define __NO_VERSION__" in one and only one of your module's .c files.
More than one, and you get redefinition errors; less than one, and its

SAFEMODE may mean other things to other programs, so that
an ordinary user might set that environment variable for some
