This is still with eeprom driver, but here is the output from the
latest run, that I modifed to actually give the runtime when it died,
and how many times the driver was loaded and unloaded:

   <<< LOADING eeprom >>>
   /sbin/insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELprerel2.0.0_50.2.0smp/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/eeprom.o
   Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELprerel2.0.0_50.2.0smp/kernel/drivers/i2c/chips/eeprom.o

   Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
   You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

So it runs for about 40 minutes and then runs out of memory.   Is
there anything I can do to look at kernel memory consumtion that would
be helpful for you?

Also, I have attached the new test script.  It now has a loop option
so you don't have to do the little while loop.  It also tries to
handle Ctrl-C cleanly, but its still broken (-;

Wait, just got results from only doing the lm93 driver.  It took reach
the out of memory condition.   I was trying to see if I could also
force a panic on this system also, so I don't have the time (but it
took quite a while).  Output of the error is basically the same  (i.e.
s/eeprom/lm93/g).
