I don't believe that any binary provided by distribution packages should be
able to generate OOPS :)
Initializing sensors was part of my standard template system initialization
after installation which I'm using on normal/prod systems.
You can call it coincidence that I found it :)

PS. BTW sensors under Linux. At the moment it is total mess in Linux now.
Thing like temp sensors are exposed over three completely independent
kernel interfaces: hwmon, thermal and yet another one which I do not
remember now.
After man years of the development Linux still is decade if not more behind
for example Solaris FMA.
