Thanks.

I'm afraid it won't help so much to file a bug against pcmcia (or
others).

I wonder. Maybe the best thing, in situations like this, would be to be
told "You've been hit by the bug :(, check and cleanup your
/etc/modutils/* files".

Or maybe you know of some magic that does it for you. Do you?
