That’s what I did 🙂 Now it’s working.

The problem seems to be in these lines:

```auto
	struct task_struct* t;
	/* find the task with that pid */
	t = pid_task(find_pid_ns(TargetPID, &init_pid_ns), PIDTYPE_PID);
	send_sig(SIGINT, t, 0);

```

One of these functions crashed the module. Since I don’t need them, I don’t care, but maybe you can fix that before sending it to the next guy that also will waste time on that.

Regards,  
Simon
