kernel crashed when probe_start failed

Hi,
 I use latest systemtap to probe multiple function, and system will crash if register_kprobe for one function fails. I checked systemtap source code, in function _stp_handle_start(), if probe_start( ) return < 0, _stp_exit_called will  be equal 1. So that _stp_kill_time will never be called in function _stp_cleanup_and_exit(), but _stp_init_time is ever called.

Hence system will crash because register timer handler is freed when module exits. Kernel oops like this:

_stp_transport_init:274 transport_init from 4364 4365

_stp_proc_write_cmd. count:28 type:4

_stp_transport_open:229 stp_transport_open: 0 Mb buffer. target=0

_stp_transport_open:234 transport_mode=1

_stp_proc_write_cmd. count:8 type:5

_stp_handle_start:97 stp_handle_start pid=5

timer handler function is f8b518ab
