The initial problem was, how to find such software producing that oops
at all.

Uwe/Chicken only later friendly distributed it to us.

Is there some alevt 1.7.0 (dvb-t/dvb-s :) anywhere else already?

Since only then, we have been able to discover, that it is valid bug
that needs investigation.

Else I do agree with all your findings, you had him blacklisted on LKML
already too, but v4l and dvb people are also somehow forced to work
together, because of the hybrid devices everywhere now.

Some don't like it and he is always on top of it again.

We make progress in so far.
