currently using old drivers, ivtv reports 1.0.3, kernel is 2.6.23.12. 
The motherboard is an old nforce2 board (abit nf7-s). cat has been 
running for 1hr 3mins and still going, when/if it stops again i'll check 
the logs and then update to the latest kernel/ivtv drivers and see what 
happens.

i expect that seeing as it's been reported, it won't happen again :)

cheers,
Mike
