I can confirm this bug. I use Acer Crystal Eye webcam (04f2:b026) on Acer Aspire 4710. Just after installing Ubuntu 8.10, I installed cheese and WebcamStudio and they worked. After that, I updated libv4l-0 from 0.5.0 to 0.5.6-1 and they didn't work anymore. With cheese: the LED was on, but I could see a black image only. By running cheese from command line, I saw error "buffer too small" like above. With WebcamStudio, I coudn't turn on webcam. I've tried to downgrade libv4l-0 from 0.5.6-1 to 0.5.0 and they work again. Fully updating the system except libv4l-0 avoided this bug. So I can affirm that this bug belongs to libv4l-0.
