>Description:
I am experiencing this problem every now and then. I recently installed 4.3-RELEASE
on my system (It was running 3.3-RELEASE without any problem). Initially, I had problems with
xlockmore. When it was started thru xautolock, it froze my machine (with a colour band displayed
on top of the screen at times). I had to power down the system & bring it up again.So I disabled it 
(I even tried compiling xlockmore from the source code - but no use).

Now I am facing the same problem with xv. Starting xv freezes my machine again.
A funny thing: After powercycling, I find the input file size to be zero.

Please note that these problems did not surface when I was running 3.3-RELEASE on the 
same machine.

I don't know whether this has anything to do with XFree86 (I am using the one that came
with 4.3-RELEASE). I tried disabling moused & usbd too. No improvement.

Here is the dmesg output:
