Re: Problem with modules

This suggests a problem with the modules' debugging information, or
with systemtap's attempts to process it.  There is a known
elfutils-related problem that may kick in if systemtap is installed in
an unusual place, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unset.

By the way, the wiki page http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/HowToReportBugs
will gradually contain more relevant advice about such problems. Nevertheless,
including basic data like "stap -V" is good general practice.

In first test I´m using the elfutil 0.97-7 (the version provided in RHAS4).
After this response I get the version 0.122-0.4 and get the same error.
