gdb yourprogram
run program_args
when the fault happens type 'where':
where
That wasn't so hard, was it? :-)

That's a good start. One problem with tracing system calls is that
a program doesn't fault at a "system call" (such as read(), write()
or pthread_create()) but further on.

It could be a threading issue - but all we know at this point is
that the program faulted sometime _after_ creating a thread.
instead of ltrace try something like this:
gdb streamer
run -t 0:30 -o movie.mov -f yv12 -F mono16
when the program faults use either the 'where' or 'bt' (backtrace) -
they are the same command, just different names.

Perhaps others who capture to mjpeg can help with some ideas - but
I thought 'lavrec' was the usual method used to capture mjpeg data.
I have not had success with ffmpeg and MJPEG data - on a big endian
system (PPC) a solid green screen, and on little endian system (AMD,
Intel) only one of the fields appears.
I think 'lavrec' would be your best choice - perhaps Bernhard will
have time to help you with some suggestions.
Cheers,
