I put some debug in I see ring_out and ring_in changing on stream that
is broken after doing a restart,
looking at the code some more it appears web stuff is only restarted
when all cameras are restarted.
Also see the text overlay pass is happening and snapshots are still
working for the individual restarted camera
but the web stream for that individual even after page refresh is static
with an occasional update on a refresh

If I do a netstat for the summary page <server_ip>:8180 when it's displayed on
Firefox I get the following:
TCP <client_ip>:59434 <server_ip>:8182 ESTABLISHED
TCP <client_ip>:59435 <server_ip>:8187 ESTABLISHED

default page
I haven't tried opening more than 6 cameras in individual streams, which sounds
like you're doing, then displaying all of them on a single page. I've found the
system resources on the motion capture machine pegs at max when I have more
than a few streams open, so I just use the summary page, then open individual
streams from there if there's something interesting to look at. Usually I use
that page just to make sure all the cameras are still up (I need to reset
something almost every other day).
PerhapsMotion 4.2 and lateradopted the model you have in 4.0, and that's why I
can't see more than 6 cameras on that page. I thought I read somewhere in the
release notes they changed the web server source to something different in 4.2,
and figured that's what broke it.
