Title:
  depmod crashed with SIGSEGV in strcmp()

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libc6

  I'm finding that I'm continually getting SEGVs from various apps
  (depmod, Firefox, google desktop indexer). Logs show

  [  694.054225] depmod[6826] general protection ip:7fe6473fc6a0 sp:7fff4f90e0c8 error:0 in libc-2.9.so[7fe64737c000+168000]

  Expected: depmod to update module list
  Instead: received a SEGV

  Results in not being able to update kernel version.
