Which isn't at all stable.  Old kino, before a 1394 re-write was started 
about 18 months ago now, was bulletproof and worked just fine on this 
exact same hardware. It was very stable when controlling my camera.  Now, 
the two versions compatible with the later libraries etc are both so 
unstable, doing segfault exits so quickly that the only chance I have of 
using it is with the last FC5 kernel, running on my lappy.  Either 8.0, 
0.9.2 or 0.9.3 take a segfault exit, stage right, on about the second 
mouse click, or even the first on this machine with the latest non-xen 
kernel(s).

I don't think this is kino's fault, particularly since Dan is unable to 
duplicate it on whatever system(s) he is using.
