Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux
I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of #23462 or not, but that was marked Fix Released, so I'm opening a new bug. I recently discovered that there is an old web cam in my house, and so I hooked it up and it works (via Camorama). So I decided to try out Ekidiga and it kind of locked up trying (I think) to open my webcam. To make sure the machine could still access the webcam, I opened Camorama, and my system hard locked.

Arg, I can't reproduce the crash a second time, but here's the output of /proc/kmsg while opening Ekiga. So something still doesn't look right, I guess. Camorama can open the webcam just fine, but Ekiga will hang. Once Camorama grabs the webcam, Ekiga will throw a permissions error.
BTW, this is Feisty Fawn, all updates applied.
