asterisk users - Aug 2007 - zaptel update locks up computer from 1.2.9.1 to 1.2.19

I am trying to update a machine with a TE210P card setup as PRI. Running 
Centos 4.4.

I stop asterisk, I do service zaptel stop. I look at lsmod and all 
zaptel modules are unloaded.
I compile zaptel 1.2.19, I install zaptel.
when I do the service zaptel start, the machine locks up.

I reboot the machine and it locks up when loading zaptel.

I have to shutdown the machine, take out the card, recompile the old 
driver, and reinstall it,
shutdown the machine, reinstall the card, then reboot. The machine boots 
and its working again.

What is going on here??? How can I get it to update to the new version?

When exactly?

If you manually run:

  modprobe zaptel
  # is that the right driver?
  insmod wct4xxp 

  # you may need to wait for a while here. udevd takes its time on centos4
  # to populate /dev/zap
  ztcfg

where exactly will it "lock up"?

Does it print anything to the console?

What exactly does lock up mean, by the way?  Does it output a stack 
trace on the screen?  Can you not ssh into anymore?  Or is does the 
current console you are on simply hang but the rest of the system 
behaves as normal.  The answer to this is important.
