Loading of webcam freezes system

[Ben Harper]

Occurred in Kopete and Camora while attempting to grab a picture.
No issues loading either app without camera plugged in. Camera is Zonet ZVC7100 http://www.zonetusa.com/DispProduct.asp?ProductID=196

To reproduce:
Kopete:With camera plugged in go to kopete settings > configure > devices.
Camora:With camera plugged in start Camora.

The effects are system freeze, mouse and keyboard are unresponsive and keyboard lights blink.

Here at my Ubuntu Feisty fawn System Based is freezing too. It is happen at webcam loading with any application that support cam like AMSN or Ekiga.

My webcam is Kaiomy, chipset sn9c110. It is use gpsca module. My solution was recompile the gspca driver. Download at http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html and fun. No more freezes.
