Summary: gp_camera_capture will lock up applications on failure

Initial Comment:
We use gp_camera_capture in digiKam to (surprise :-)) capture images.
Today I tested some features in our program, one of them being the capture button. I forgot to remove the lens protection from my Nikon D50 and clicked capture.
The camera was not able to successfully do an autofocus and so no image was taken.
But this also locked up our application, since gp_camera_capture is not returning and we are stuck in our capturing method.
Canceling the capture action is also not possible, since gp_camera_capture has not yet returned from its execution.

Using gphoto2 command line tool results in the same error.
Do we need to set some timeout in libgphoto2, or is this a bug?
