Description of problem:
When loading the module with "modprobe pwc" no error messages occur:

Philips webcam

But when I try to use my webcam with an application like gnomemeeting
it shows no picture and after trying to change the resolution or to
end the capturing the application doesn't react anymore. After killing
the application /var/log/messages shows something like this:

Jan 11 16:58:18 roadrunner kernel: pwc Closing video device: 239
frames received, dumped 0 frames, 239 frames with errors.

If I boot my machine with the normal (non smp) kernel all things work
well. The problem also exists in older FC3 kernel versions in the same
way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.10-1.737_FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect your Philips USB webcam
2. Boot with smp kernel
3. modprobe pwc
4. Try to use the webcam with an application like gnomemeeting

Actual Results:  No picture,
application doesn't react anymore

Expected Results:  Get the captured picture(s) don't lock the
application. Behave like without smp support.
