[expert] Logitech Quickcam Express flooding /var/log/syslog with errors

[Karl Mitchell]

I've recently purchased a Logitech Quickcam Express and have noticed 
that it is flooding my /var/log/syslog with the following:

Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [7] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [8] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [9] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [0] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [1] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [2] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [3] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [4] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [5] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [6] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE
Jul 24 11:21:01 master kernel: quickcam data error: [7] len=0, 
status=FFFFFFEE

It doesn't take very long to fill the partition and, unfortunately, I 
don't have separate / /tmp and /var partitions, so it can be fairly 
catastrophic.

Does anyone have similar experience and/or a solution? FYI I am running 
gnomemeeting and Mandrake 9.1.

Cheers,
