i2c and tvp514x issues

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TVP5146

I'm having a problem where I get i2c errors from the tvp5146 under unusual circumstances.  I want to send SNMP traps from my DM368 encoder application.  Basically I build a string and execute a system call to invoke the NET-SNMP snmptrap application to send the trap.  When I make the system call I will frequently get a hung tvp5146 with i2c errors.  The snmp trap apps takes a while to execute, but is executing from it's own thread.  I'm thinking of writing a separate app to send the traps and communicate with a pipe.

Could it be that the system call is messing up the i2c?  The video continues to encode and stream to the network when the trap app is invoked.  And I do have another thread checking the tvp5146 for valid video every 5 seconds.
