finally what weve been waiting for, thx.

suggest merging the bug with: References: <43CF43CE.7060404@xxxxxx> <200603111055.56215.mxhaard@xxxxxxxx> <4412F367.3090100@xxxxxx> <200603112237.27307.mxhaard@xxxxxxxx>
In-Reply-To: <200603112237.27307.mxhaard@xxxxxxxx>

i cant reproduce it here, since im getting full lockup without any traces on touching my cam 
under the mentioned cicumstances.

could you compile a kernel image with all debug features and provide a more verbose stacktrace 
or use ksymoops to get something out of this binary trace?

this stacktrace doesnt say enough to identify this tasklet bug. 

i check the spca5xx tasklet code meanwhile...
