Ok, I found the problem, it was due indeed to a SKAS3 bug. I could verify it in patch releases as old as 2.6.9-v7 by testing, and I didn't went testing further back. In all kernels I tested, CONFIG_REGPARM was enabled, and this is related with the problem. The solution is to upgrade to -V8.2. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
