What version of the ivtv driver are you using?

I have exactly the same problem since upgrading from the 0.3.2f ivtv
driver to the 0.3.2m/0.3.2p ivtv drivers...

To be honest I must say I haven't downgraded the driver to check if it
goes away again... However, I have used that driver for ~2 weeks without
any freezes; with the current one I have multiple freezes a day...

Regards,
Stanley.
