Changes in kernel mess up Cisco VPN build

Is there anyone here that builds kernel modules that might provide some
insight into what might have changed in the kernel between
2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 and 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686 to cause an invalid
module format to be built? These are, I believe the next to last and
last kernel updates, respectively.
The builds under both kernels appear to run correctly (no error
messages) but when you try install the module it errors:
[root at wimsey vpnclient]# /etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start
Starting /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient: insmod: error inserting
'/lib/modules/2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec.ko': -1 Invalid
module format
Failed (insmod)
This is the vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9_f8.tar.gz build from
Cisco (obtainable from
ftp://ftp.tu-graz.ac.at/vc-graz/vpn/vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz
as modified by the patch from
http://projects.tuxx-home.at/ciscovpn/patches/vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff
The tar file contains an install script that uses make but, while I can
read the make file, I'm a relative newby when it comes to modules so
any insight will be helpful.
Thanks,
