That happens when something has allocated too much bandwidth on the  
firewire bus and not freed it - usually another program such as  
coriander or a previous crash of libavg.

That's probably a crash in the tracker because it's having trouble  
with your graphics card setup. Make sure you have the closed-source  
drivers running stably. Also, we don't test here with ati cards, so  
there might be issues with some cards. Newer NVidia cards ( >= 8xxx)  
should work.

Hard to help there...
