...and now I can't reproduce this problem with either the -686 or -amd64
flavour. I don't believe it has been fixed but I think there may be
some oddity of my specific camera involved. If I can get it into this
state again then I'll try to track down what dvgrab is doing that fails
while my simple grabber doesn't. (It is certainly sending requests to
the device, which the simple grabber doesn't bother with.)
