Can't cleanly unload driver

I suspect I am doing something wrong in the code with
register/unregister_chrdev(), but I have been over that code a million
times. It looks fine.

Now:
insmod the device, OK
rmmod the device, OK
Check /proc/devices , device # is present
insmod the device again, fails with ERROR: could not insert module
./foobar.ko: Device or resource busy
