I found a new function of gdb. I type info threads and I get...

 Id   Target ID         Frame
 2    Thread 0x72df9460 (LWP 601) "python2.7" 0x76e3ab80 in poll ()at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:81
*1    Thread 0x76ff6000 (LWP 600) "python2.7" 0x0006de50 in PyErr_Format ()

then if I type list I get this

1        ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory

I believe that the asterisk means that is the thread that ended the program, but I am not certain. Does anybody know what to do from here? Or have any ideas of how to fix this or work around it??

If I take the photo using pygame and do a backtrace, I get a segmentation fault with slightly more information

Today I found that if all that I do is import SimpleCV, image and camera, then open a camera and enter an infinite loop, I still get a segmentation fault
