But wait for a while. I do not want to waste your time and your cputime. I realize I need to do more testing before asking others. As you know more than anyone else, these things take a lot of (cpu)time.
David,
After successful completion of a rebuild under the "fixed" kernel, I rolled back to the previous kernel and tried again. This time it did not segfault. And this was the exact same condition as before (same VMware guest, same kernel) and yet segfault did not occur. In a situation like this, it is very difficult to assess a bug fix unless test runs are repeated enough number of times -- which will take many days or even weeks.
I will wait for 5.1 because there is some possibility that this issue is resolved in the newer kernel. In the meantime, the best workaround is to disable signmodules or to use mock.
