I've been trying to get Motion-3.2.3 to work with PiXORD Network Cameras
(120 and 200), but I keep getting a Segmentation fault:

----CONSOLE OUTPUT BEGIN----
motion -s -c ~/motion-pix.conf

[0] Motion running in setup mode.

I use a very simple motion.conf file:

----BEGIN motion.conf----
width 352
height 240
framerate 30
netcam_url http://192.168.2.65:9998/getimage?camera=1&fmt=sif

jpeg_filename %Y/%m/%d/%H/%M/%S-%q
ffmpeg_filename %Y/%m/%d/%H%M%S
timelapse_filename %Y/%m/%d-timelapse
----END motion.conf----

When I comment out the netcam section and uncomment the videodevice section
it works without a problem.
I've already uploaded a dumpfile to
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamMjpegStreamDumps
When I change the URL to provide a single JPEG image rather than a multipart
JPEG stream I still end up with the same Segmentation fault.
I've attached a file listing some system information for my Gentoo system
(the output from emerge --info).
I'm using ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050906, although I don't think that this should
make any difference as it works fine with the videodevice. I am also able to
use ffmpeg to capture the MJPEG stream directly from the netcam using:
ffmpeg -y -f mjpeg -b 1500 -i
"http://192.168.2.65:9998/getimage?camera=1&fmt=sif" -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale 1
netcam.avi

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you,
