>Description:
For module class and source modstat(8) gets an integer from the
kernel and uses this to index a local string array to produce
a printable result.  This does not allow modstat to fully work
on later kernels which may have grown more classes and sources.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change modctl() to send printable values from the kernel (use problib?).

Fix before 6.0 would be nice.
