If your are using this driver
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html

then it appears that it most likely hanging here:

        for (n = 0; n < SPCA50X_NUMFRAMES; n++)
                if (waitqueue_active(&spca50x->frame[n].wq))
                        wake_up_interruptible(&spca50x->frame[n].wq);
        if (waitqueue_active(&spca50x->wq))
                wake_up_interruptible(&spca50x->wq);
        gspca_kill_transfert(spca50x);
        PDEBUG(3, "Disconnect Kill isoc done");
        up(&spca50x->lock);
        while (spca50x->user)
                schedule();

This driver's disconnect handling is buggy. As this is an out of tree
driver, please contact the original author.

OK thanks for your answer.

I also found out that ekiga was still running. I killed it and that
stopped the hang.
