The nm parts should be a separate patch.

I need to get a moment to play with it. Is my understanding correct that
the problem is that the last word ($module) is:

[test])

and after the existing strip logic, $module becomes test]) whereas
expecting just "test"? Your change is to strip any leading/trailing
characters before/after the [ / ] respectively? Isn't this a problem for
$symbol as well -- it would be "(hello_init+0x13/0x1000" in the example.
