I had a camera get taken out with a failed power supply (spiked to 15V and nuked it before I caught it)

and my new camera is causing some issues.

ZMA crashes with a segfault. Camera goes Yellow (assuming monitor mode only) after ZMA goes down...so no events being captured. Here's the traceback(s). Has anyone seen why this would happen:

Did the pc/card get spiked through the cam it can happed something like that happen to a dvr card i had

check for toasted circuits on board (i assume analog)
the only reason i can see but still wait for a second opinion
i could be wrong

No, the card itself (luckily) is fine.

Well, it looks like the problem was with the zones. I guess I changed one of my zones around the same time this happened, and didn't realize that it was causing a crash in zma.

I blew away all my zones and went back to a single zone just to test it. It works fine now. Would be nice to know what the problem was with the zones that was causing the segfault.

Just to add. This resolved the problem for me as well on ZM_VERSION=1.23.3. I was getting the following in /var/log/messages:

No other errors out of the ordinary.

This was even after reducing the camera to minimal specs (1 FPS, low res, greyscale...) and with any buffer size (I tried right up to about 800 ring buffer. Shared memory is tweaked to allow very large amounts).

Cleared out all the zones and re-made the default zone and all is good.

This had me very stumped as the system is barely loaded, very large amounts of free space, shared memory segments allowed to be very large, and all settings minimized. Seems to be working fine now! Any idea what's wrong with the zones?
