Thatīs a bug.  -- In fact the whole file symbols.c can be considered as 
a bug.  :)  

This will be fixed when the new module system is in place, in the mean time
you must first look up a symbol in weak_symhash and, if no one is found,
you can create a new symbol and intern it in weak_symhash. After that
you can copy it into your (the module`s) obarray .
