(SOLVED) weird continuous recording

[d4ny]

I use zoneminder 1.24.2 with ubuntu 9.04 64 bits and I'm having problems when recording continuously. Every hour or two, continuous recording stops for exactly 40 minutes and restart recording normally in blocks of 600 sec (10 min by default). I have done a print screen, take a look:


I have tried changing form record to mocord with same results. I have also tried gray color, changing resolution, length of the recording block (900 sec), with the same results.

Any one have any idea why ZM is behaving like this?

I see errors in the logs:
