Perhaps you could pastebin the module code if it's not confidential so we can take a quick look (though personally I 
probably won't get a chance until Monday).

At the moment, by default OpenSimulator loads all modules even if they are disabled in their individual configurations 
(e.g. by Enabled = false).  This is wasteful and confusing.  I believe there is a mechanism for preventing load 
altogether but I haven't used it myself so I don't remember what it is (not very useful, I know).  I will try and have a 
look next week.

Perhaps the Mono addins cache is getting corrupted, even though we haven't seen this for a long time.  You might want to 
try deleting bin/addin-db-001 before restarting if this happens.
