I'm guessing you upgraded a kernel of the same upstream version (ie 2.4.18
or 2.2.19) but different Debian revision, without reboot, thereby replacing
the System.map file, but keeping the old kernel running (the reboot will
enact the new kernel).  It's not so much a kludge, as simply a fact that you
can't switch kernels without reboot.  Look into 2-kernel monte for
intellectual interest, but probably no practical help for you situation.
