Thanks for the response.
I suspect from the entries in /var/log/messages that the problem is
with the kernel module.
In any case I'll add modprobe -r (which I assume is the same as rmmod ?)
to the remedies I'll try if and when the problem recurs.
Similar, though modprobe -r deals with module dependencies (provided
they're not in use).
