Hmmm, I just grabbed the 0.6.2 version (used 0.6.1 for my testing) and had no
problem after the upgrade. It still works Also my test-webcam at

http://lugburz.risc.uni-linz.ac.at

is running w3cam 0.6.1 rather stable now since the release of the 0.4.3 driver.
Can you send the relevant syslog output, the proc-stuff and everything else that
seems relevant :) directly to me. I'll try to fix things.
