Thanks for the response.  I just found the problem last night.  Their
convert utility was screwing up on files that had module_init and
module_exit routines in them, even though it wasn't compiled as a module.
I fixed it by replacing the __init and __exit macros with nothing so
the code is placed in a normal .text segment.
