Firstly has this been brought up on the ivtv lists?

Well the difference is not necessarily that it is "doing something 
different" the second time around.
More likely scenarios are:
1. that something either hasn't been closed down correctly after the 
first run
2. that some resource has been locked and not freed correctly after the 
first run
3. that something has been closed down "too properly" after the first 
run and isn't getting reinitialised.

Next do you have any options for increasing the verbosity of the logging 
in the ivtv driver?

Finally what happens if you unload and reload all of the ivtv drivers 
after the first run?

Ivor.
