Unexpected behaviour with create_module

[T.L.Madhu]

Hi All,

create_module() system calls gives segmentation fault with 
size (second) argument set to huge value. This behaviour is 
seen only in 2.4.* series kernel but the same call in 2.5.*
series (tested with 2.5.43 kernel) fails as EXPECTED with 
errno set to ENOMEM.

Check this programme,
----------------------------------------------------------
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <errno.h>
        
main()
{
	printf("Return values for too big module size %d ",
		create_module("dummy", 99999999));
	printf("errno %d\n", errno);
}
----------------------------------------------------------

Is this a known bug? wondering why this bug is not fixed in
2.4.* series?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Madhu
