i've experienced the same problem with a different video card.  i suspect
this is may be a module issue.  try unloading all modules that deal with
the camera. in my case that consisted of pwcx, pwc, videodev and one or
two dealing with usb.  then i reloaded the drivers and this problem was
resolved.  my guess is there is a module that is not properly cleaning things
up.  anyway, this is how i fixed the problem on my machine so it gives you
something to try.  it may not work but it is worth a shot.

good luck.
