Could you be a bit more precise - does just the application crash, or
does the system hang?

I have the suspicion you have a board based on the bx chipset? I did
have the same problem some time ago when I changed from a Celeron 333 to
a Celeron 850, and fixed it by increasing the pci latency timer. But, in
the most recent kernels, it doesn't help, it still lock ups from time
to time. Changing to bttv-0.8.31 fixed the problem.

(The above answer makes only sense if you experience hangs, otherwise if
just the app crashes it doesn't make a lot of sense.)

Thanks for the help so far,
