Actually, no, this should work...

symbol_request() looks up the module containing the given symbol and does a 
module_get() on it.

symbol_put_addr() looks up the module containing the given /addresss/ and does 
a module_put() on it... so it /should/ be working; in fact it was. But 
obviously it ain't for you guys for some reason.

Trent fixed a nasty bug in symbol_put_addr() for 2.6.17.. perhaps theres still 
another one lurking?
