Hi Ronald,
Thanks so much for fielding the issue. Here's what I came up with for
initial troubleshooting:

Here's the applicable /var/log/messages output for a run of lavrec with
no audio (-a 0) and xawtv running at the same time:

Interesting run in the fact that I got about 5 minutes into the record
before it froze. Also interesting in that system processes were running
after the freeze but prior to the reset. No apparent indications to me
of what's causing the freeze.

As referenced above...system crashes without audio and with xawtv.

When run with audio & without xawtv the results are the same as with
audio and xawtv. Freezes after slightly less than 2 minutes of runtime.

I'll run the "nv" drivers this afternoon and let you know the results.
