[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#663701: libgphoto2-2: Most (all) operations eat up all mem and die with Canon EOS 20D

[Sascha Wilde]

Package: libgphoto2-2
Version: 2.4.13-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

With the update to 2.4.13-2 libgphoto2 stopped working with my EOS 20D
(both in standard and ptp mode):  Most (all?) operations, including a
simple `gphoto2 -L' eat up all available mem and are finally ended by
the Kernel OOM-killer.  Note: this effects software using
libgphoto like for example darkroom or gtkam.

Downgrading to 2.4.11-4 solved the problem for me.

cheers
sascha
