Dear All,
Many thanks indeed for all your help.
Having disabled the USB camera from Motion, Motion has not crashed since.
The camera works fine with e.g. Cheese and VLC, and I would argue that
Motion (and it seems to be one library) crashes - presumably - on
receipt of corrupt or malformed data should not cause a crash, so I feel
this is a "feature" that should be changed so it doesn't cause a crash!
My thanks again,
Kind Regards,
