Thank you for reporting this bug. However, we need a little bit more information in order to get the developers working on it. Please do the following and attach the results here.
-Restart
-Open a Terminal and type
sudo /etc/init.d/hal stop
sudo hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no 2>&1 | tee /tmp/hal.log
-Wait for the output the command generates to settle down and NOW insert the Quickcam
-In a second terminal type;
lshal > /tmp/lshal.txt
-Go back to the terminal where the sudo hald... comand was executed, press Ctrl+c and execute this:
sudo /etc/init.d/hal start
Now hald is running normally again, it was running in verbose mode earlier.

Please attach the following files:
/var/log/kern.log
/tmp/hal.log
/tmp/lshal.txt

Thanks.
