Agreed, but actually neb_load_module calls the initfunc with the
module_handle, not with the nebmodule struct.

result=(*initfunc)(NEBMODULE_NORMAL_LOAD,mod->args,mod->module_handle);

That is why the module itself doesn't know anything about itself other
than its module_handle. This approach is also charming because the
nebmodule struct can only be altered through API functions. I am
indifferent about these two approaches, but the API should be
consistent and not segfault because of inconsistency.



Thanks.

Tobias
