That can happen if MOL does exit properly. Usually, running MOL
again cleans things up (in this case, this obviously won't work and
a reboot is necessary to unload it).
I think that what happens here is that you have an old mol module
paired with a new MOL binary. The kernel module <-> user binary
interface has changed...
