What is the difference? (I would expect both to break.) ((Re #1, /module.mod is ETFSKEY and not mine))
Well, not everything in rump acts the same as a real kernel. Without seeing the source code of the module in question, I can't give you a definitive answer. But you might see if you can figure out what the address in stack frame #0 corresponds to...
(Note that that address is not in the 0x07f7xxxxxx range that you would expect for "kernel stuff" such as the other stack frames. This is one part of the "rump is different than real kernel" I mentioned!)
