We had this discussion about 2.6 kernels recently ! I bet Christian has 
BTTV/i2c/V4L compiled as a module, whereas Dirk has a monolithic kernel in 
this respect. I had the same problems with 2.6.x, and compiling these three 
components monolithically solved them all. 

Not certainly a bug with BTTV, since there are three components involved. I 
mailed this problem to the v4l list a while back, so Gerd should be aware of 
it.
