Hmm. I can't seem to find a reference to it on the main page nor
on the sourceforge pages.  Is a tarball available, or do I need
to go straight to CVS?

All is in order, though I'll try using a different 1394 cable to
eliminate that as a possibility.

I don't know if this reinforces or hinders your theory, but if I use
video1394 and drop the frame rate down to 7.5 FPS or less, I get a
stable image.  Any thoughts?

It's a SuSE SLES 10 IA64 kernel, 2.6.16.21 plus many patches.

Will do.
