Comment 2 for bug 2927

Same problem with Logitech Quickcam Communicator STX. Tried gnome-meeting and my entire system froze. Also noticed the same problem when accessing XSane. The camera's power light never turns off as expected.
I noticed during boot up that I receive a number of messages like this:
