[BUG] libcamera-still generating Segmentation fault - works fine with time delay "-t 1000" but not w/o

[bayetan]

Describe the bug
"libcamera-still -o test.jpg" used to generate an output file results in a "Segmentation fault" and no output file. Using the same command with "-t 1000 -o test.jpg" option does NOT produce the "Segmentation fault" and generate the output file. So not having a time delay appears to cause the error.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. It certainly seems a bit hard to understand, might you be able to run it under gdb and get a stack trace? Also, I don't see the console output in the bug report, could you maybe post that too? Thanks.

I've seen this , too. If I turn off the preview frame, there is no problem. I tried cloning from github and building at HEAD and it worked. Haven't tried to narrow it down further.

Rebuilding at 7ac5197 I could reproduce the failure, and so I think it was fixed by
