[mythtv] LFireDev Error: Starting A/V streaming: Cannot allocate memory

[Kelly Campbell]

I get the following error usually on the second recording after a
successful recording. I'm using a very recent svn build of myth trunk,
libraw1394, libiec61883, and libavc1394.

LFireDev(0016B5FFFE030EF3): Buffered packets 1500 (6000 KB)
LFireDev(0016B5FFFE030EF3), Error: Starting A/V streaming
                        eno: Cannot allocate memory (12)

I've tried debugging this a little bit. I reduced the buffer size by
500 packets as you can see there. The memory issue is sometimes sticky
across backend restarts. I haven't tried any bus resets or replugging
the cable yet.

I've narrowed it down to the ioctl in do_iso_init (libraw1394/src/iso.c):
        if(ioctl(handle->fd, cmd, &handle->iso_status)) {
                fprintf(stderr, "ioctl for iso status failed\n");
                return -1;
        }

Log & stderr output:
