I am running 2.3.99-pre6 here (using the latest ov511 version on my
site, obviously :)) and I have not had it fail once. I suppose something
could have pegged your CPU and caused some sort of data overrun
somewhere. If it stops working in the middle of the night it is probably
some cron job causing this, such as slocate. This should not happen in
any case, though. I have seen xawtv die this way when I disconnect and
reconnect the camera while it is running, which is somewhat similar to
overloading the CPU and causing xawtv to miss a frame I guess.
I will do some testing tonight to see if I can reproduce this.
