	Minutes after asking the question, we found that replacing
	the RH-supplied debuginfo was causing the problem.  After
	building the module with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and CONFIG_KPROBE
	and REPLACING the debuginfo from RH, it worked.  I'm not
	convinced that CONFIG_KPROBE was necessary. 

	Thanks for the quick response...
