what might be causing this?
I have never seen this before.
The comment in the code says that modprobe needs a service to run which is in a module as well so that it gets recursive. Maybe there's something wrong in your Linux configuration? You could add a printk to kernel/kmod.c, request_module to better see what's going on.
