> It looks like you are trying to grab from /dev/video0 and write to an

> On that basis, I've adjusted the bug severity.
> 
> If you can, please try to compile a newer upstream version, like the
> version currently found in debian/unstable. That would make reproducing
> the issue for me much easier.
