Oh wait .... I found a bug a while ago from someone trying to load large modules. There is a problem if the kernel grows to need additional PTE tables, the top level pointers don't get propagated correctly and subsequent access by a thread that didn't actually do the allocation would fail. I'm looking into this, including your past message about 64-bit PTEs.
Thanks.
