hmm, something is unloading compat. I wonder if builtins can be autounloaded now (shouldn't be allowed to happen). I didn't notice this behaviour on a fresh anita installation, so i'm not sure what it's about. > I noticed that modstat tells me that REFS == -1 on some modules: > > NAME CLASS SOURCE REFS SIZE REQUIRES > compat misc builtin -1 - - > > Does it have something to do with your change? yes, it's documented in modstat.8. Basically there was no easy way to extend what modstat reports without breaking old binaries, so i decreed better reporting of builtin disabling as a separate change. (didn't get around to filing a pr yet, though.) i'm on the road now, so i can't look into this now. but if you can meanwhile figure out what's causing the unload, i'll fix it around next weekend. sorry 'bout the brekage
