Chris If you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE you'll see it run into a BUG(). bttv used to do call cleanup functions from the irq handler in case you closed file handles with DMA transfers in flight, and the cleanup function did stuff which is illegal to do from irq context ... There are also some in-kernel changes, thus it triggers with some kernel versions only ... Gerd -- #include </dev/tty>
