Streamzap driver kernel oops

[Chris W. <hob...@gm...>]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post about this, but there
appears to be a bug in the streamzap driver that was just moved to the
main linux kernel in 2.6.36.  My remote control works just fine for a
short period of time, but after a short time (a matter of seconds or
minutes) after booting (or plugging in the streamzap USB receiver),
the following error is spammed to the console:

streamzap 4-1:1.0: Problem w/kfifo_out...

It's being spammed as though the print is in a tight infinite loop.
It also makes my computer completely unresponsive to keyboard input or
network traffic (can't ping or ssh), forcing me to hit the reset
button.  The problem does NOT occur if the USB receiver is unplugged.
I'm using lirc 0.9.0-pre1 and the built in streamzap driver in the
2.6.36 kernel.

Any ideas?
