Heh, fixed that... pass the baggies please ;-)

With your config, symbols were being loaded twice. Parsing of vmlinux
and modules goes fine. Unless there are no modules currently loaded, or
_the last module scanned isn't loaded_ that is. dso__load_modules()
then returns 0, and we fall back to kallsyms.. making a mess.

Anyway, there's some other bustage with your config, so I'm going to
have to do more symbol table debugging/validation.
