We've seen a lot of this in the last few weeks, using v0.4[12] of the driver
(from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/3c59x.c )

Since upgrading to v0.43 a few days ago, we haven't had a problem, although
we've hardly been thrashing the cards, so I can't vouch for it. I _think_ it
works in 2.0 kernels, so try it.

I notice that he's now up to v0.45, which I'll go and install in a moment.

It doesn't help that the version in the standard kernel (2.1.55) is v0.25,
which doesn't even support the 3x9xx cards! Please, someone - when is this
going to be updated?
