Thanks for the offer. I have solved the error. My error, of course... It
was a subtle one wherein I changed the PID of a calling process to 0,
which, when the app later exited, caused great havoc, even after the
device driver had been happily unloaded. Five extra characters in the
source did it. The task_struct is useful - but dangerous in the wrong
hands.
