I don't think so, but if I have them, what would I expect to see
(even without bttv)? Yesterday I got a lockup right after starting
xawtv, an before the Window appeared. This makes me think of an
X (XFree3.2) / Windowmanager (Fvwm2) bug!? (will try it without
Windowmanager)

BTW. these lockups are really annoying...
