I have a little collection of webcams, on one webcam this driver works
reliably.  On another, it freezes the whole FC5 box immediately in a way
that only cycling the power can recover it.

Yup, that would be the horrific instability that I'm referring to.
According to the developer "it works fine in SuSE-10.1, so it can't be
a driver bug".
