(RESEND w/ correct reply-to) click bug report (help needed)

I gave Tao a call. FYI for others:

vmalloc() is inappropriate for small objects, since it uses at least one
page per memory request. But the vmalloc/kmalloc thing is an issue we might
address in future releases.

The way to fix this is to increase the value of the PROC_NDYNAMIC symbol in
LINUXDIR/include/linux/proc_fs.h . It limits the number of /proc files that
are allowed.
