How?
Really. See my comment about mutual exclusion. The current patch is
*broken* because it doesn't handle it. Really.
Think of it this way - you may have now started *five* of those things
concurrently by mistake.
The actual module loading case never does that, because the actual
module loading case has per-module serialization that got
short-circuited.
How are you going to handle five processes doing the same setup concurrently?
