I had that on one of my machines recently.

Two things to try:

1) Unload and reload the saa7134 modules (see script attached)
tv-reload.sh ; modprobe saa7134

2) Fetch latest saa7134 driver at bytesex.org.
At the time of writing this link was the latest:
http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/video4linux-20050729-124736.tar.gz

You are on a rather new kernel but still it may not have the latest additions 
from CVS for saa7134 in it.

#1 didn't really work for me, #2 did.

Saw this in the v4l mailinglist a few weeks ago.

Interestingly my other, first, saa7134 card never had this problem...
