To make sure we had all the available info, I ran it again before 
making any changes.  Again, it defaulted to Picture.  I pointed it at 
video0, and it ran for 1-2 minutes, then crashed again (I simply let 
it run, not touching anything else in the config, nor attempting to 
connect the mic).

The odd thing is that I had had it running for several minutes at a 
time when I first installed pwcx.  But - I wonder if that was 
*before* I put it into modules.conf?  I'm going to take it out of 
there and try loading it manually, to see if it still happens.

I can't see how to get that backtrace info.  Attached is what I am 
seeing.

If I can't get the backtrace from there, can we get it to write to a 
logfile?

I just hope that what we find helps others.  It's good to feel useful
