Sound very familiar to me... This looks as like as my problem, described in 
this mail list too ([ivtv-users] ivtv 0.6.2...0.6.3...0.7.0 or PVR-350 timing 
problem?). Also 2.6.17 kernel, also SMTP.
I have been fiddling with some timings for a while, it helped a little bit, 
but no 'real' solution. My system freezes now in +- 15% of starts. Stepwise 
improvements:
a/in driver/ivtv-driver.h
#define IVTV_SDRAM_SLEEPTIME (60 * HZ / 100 )
changed to
#define IVTV_SDRAM_SLEEPTINE HZ
b/applied Robert Hardy's patch ([ivtv-devel] Crash on loading of 2nd firmware 
file)
c/blocking autoload of ivtv module by udev by blacklisting of ivtv and a few 
Gentoo specific work-arounds.
But, as I mentioned, no real success, only the lockup is less frequent..
