Package: webcam Version: 3.95.dfsg.1-1 Severity: important Running webcam(1) in continuous-upload mode eventually causes the ftp(1) subprocess used to run out of file descriptors, returning 'fdopen() failed' to the webcam process.
webcam(1) continues to attempt to use the same ftp(1) process when an error occurs, but as this process is out of file descriptors it will never recover. Instead, webcam(1) should probably attempt to spawn a new ftp(1) process. webcam(1) also fails if the ftp(1) subprocess is killed - while understandable, the ability to restart ftp(1) could be added to this code path at the same time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages webcam depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii xawtv-plugins 3.95.dfsg.1-1 plugins for xawtv and motv Versions of packages webcam recommends: ii ftp 0.17-16 The FTP client ii ssh 1:4.3p2-9 Secure shell client and server (tr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
