It's depmod. It was assuming that if argument starts with three digits,
it's a kernel version:

        /* If a version is provided, then that kernel version's module directory
         * is used, rather than the current kernel version (as returned by
         * "uname -r").  */
        if (*argv && sscanf(*argv, "%u.%u.%u", &tmp, &tmp, &tmp) == 3) {
                version = *argv++;
        } else {
                uname(&uts);
                version = uts.release;
        }
