[Click] Using class templates compile, but fail to link at runtime.

[Paine, Thomas Asa]

Eddie,
	I haven't tried the template version again yet, but the non
template class is now doing it after replacing its news/deletes with
vmalloc/vfree (because of large array allocations in this class).  This
too produced similar errors when trying to install the module (below).
Removing the ksyms.* didn't seem to make any difference here.

With using vmalloc....

click: starting router thread pid 1050 (f7950640)
tms: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
tms: Unknown symbol _Z5vfreePv
tms: Unknown symbol _Z7vmallocm

Thanks,

Hi Thomas,

Try the following magic incantation:

    cd CLICKBUILDDIR
    rm linuxmodule/ksyms.*
    make install

and then click-install again.  I think there may be an issue with the
way the new Click build process marks symbols as exportable.
