Summary:ASTERISK-00377: After unloading ztdummy module access to /proc/interrupts will be crashed

Description:Due to re-requesting usb-uhci's IRQ by call to request_irq(..., "usb-uhci", ...), when ztdummy module is unloaded its memory (including string "usb-uhci"!) is freed. Next, when application tries to access /proc/interrupt, kernel will try to generate string with list of modules associated with IRQ. Because memory with "usb-uhci" string (associated with usb-uhci's module interrupt handler) is freed (when ztdummy module has been unloaded), application will crash with SIGSEGV.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I think this bug is not resolvable without kernel modifications (exporting irq_desc from kernel and walk through IRQ handlers directly from ztdummy or adding function which will return module name associated with IRQ handler).

So, is this something that can be resolved through changes to the zaptel package, or is this a problem that is inherent in some Linux kernel handler module?  In other words: can this be fixed by anyone reading this ticket?
