I thought MODULE_DEPEND is only a way to tell the loader / kldload  
that the other module is to be loaded in case it is not in the kernel  
/ loaded already. Is this only a part of what it does and / or did  
this change and now it is also needed so that a kernel module is able  
to resolve the symbols? In my case the module is loaded already when I  
try to load the nfslockd module.

Bye,
Alexander.
