[PLUG-AV] dvgrab insanity

[Leon Wright]

All,

I've come up with something that at least triggers a restart of the camera
when it's plugged back in. I'd like to know that it's gone, but this will
have to do for now.

Regards,

Leon

# cat /dev/mem | strings | grep -i cats
Damn, my RAM is full of cats... MEOW!!
