There is a memcpy implementation in the Linux kernel.  It sounds like you
have a symbol version mismatch problem.  To verify this, do the following:

nm /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.2.16.mp.o | grep memcpy
grep memcpy /proc/ksyms

I bet you find that the requested symbol differs from the one available in
the kernel only in version and/or SMP-ness.
