That particular header is included.  As I mentioned, I am using memset
in other areas of the code, as well as the same file.  If I take this
one call out of the source, it compiles, links and I am able to perform
and insmod correctly.  Below are the headers that are included in the
file, and the area of the code that is causing the problem.  Let me say
that the code, even with this particular call in, compiles and links.
The problem happens when I go to perform the insmod on it.

#include <memory.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "myownheaders.h"


void myfunction( void *a, int len )
{
....
Mymemmove() //used because NdisMoveMemory can not be used
memset( &a->WORD[NUMWORDS-len], 0, len*4);
...
}

um, memset() isn't actually a system call.
However-- does the problem source file have
#include <linux/string.h>
in it?  It should.
Or perhaps you could post the problem source file and/or
gcc messages.
