I'm not sure which on actually gets run if you create a module. We should either forbid this or treat static modules just like dynamic ones and allow them to be unloaded and replaced with another module. >How-To-Repeat: Compile "device tun" into your kernel. Then run "kldload if_tun". Similar problems presumably exist with other modules. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
