Hi, I found an old Philips Askey VC010 webcam and attempted to get it working on Linux (latest git, x86_64). It worked fine, I could view the camera in mplayer. But, however, when I went to move the camera, I unplugged it and forgot to close mplayer. I didn't notice, moved it, plugged it back in and immediately Mplayer died and dropped a genaral protection fault oops + stacktrace in the kernel log. I unplugged the camera again, and the entire system froze, most likely a kernel panic. I've reproduced this twice, however I haven't been able to get it to occur when using mplayer from the command line (so that I can see what happens when it freezes). I've uploaded the 2 dmesg logs here:
