From 88173507e4fc1e7ecd111b0565e8cba0cb7dae6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:18:41 -0800 Subject: Modules: handle symbols that have a zero value The module subsystem cannot handle symbols that are zero. If symbols are present that have a zero value then the module resolver prints out a message that these symbols are unresolved.
