Nothing wrong at all. Even if hal didn't do this, the same thing might very well occur the second time somebody ran a program accessing the video device. The real problem will be to figure out why the hardware isn't turning off the periodic schedule. It might be a timing issue (the schedule was running too briefly before the driver tried to disable it). That could explain why it shows up only occasionally. But if it isn't, I have no idea what the underlying cause is or how to fix it.
