The strace just shows it peering into directories and then closing the
handle.

If you install the debuginfo RPM

# yum --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo install module-init-tools-debuginfo

and gdb

# yum install gdb

and run it through gdb

# gdb --args depmod -a
... blah blah...
(gdb) run

and see if you get a nice backtrace
