No it's not -- in fact yours is the first report.

I've searched our support mail for a bug report from you but I can't 
find one -- could you please re-send it?

Also, please note that since all of our code in running in user 
space, it's not possible* for us to cause a kernel panic.

*unless there's a bug someone else's kernel code.

(For the sarcasm-impaired, we already know of lots of ways to cause 
FireWire to panic from user space)

When you send your bug report, could you please send a panic log, 
which you can get from the Console application?

Also, we did get one other report today which involved an ATi Radeon 
card with new drivers -- since we return data in a format that the 
ATi drivers can accelerate in hardware it's possible that there's a 
connection, but until we get your bug report I can't be sure.

Did I mention that if you find a bug you should send us a bug report?

You may be stuck with the Apple's driver (if you have a FireWire 
camera) or nothing (if you have USB) for iChat for a bit.

(See my previous post for details)
