Pygame camera possibly buffer full problem

I found the test web cam program hangs after running 10+ times.  I guess there might be a system buffer burst.  I googled and found someone haaving a similar problem suggested to updata the RPi firmware.  So I just did it as suggested.

rpi-update - An easier way to update the firmware of your Raspberry Pi.

https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update

Installing under Raspbian

To install the tool, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install rpi-update

Updating

Then, to update your firmware, just run the following command:

sudo rpi-update

Activating

After the firmware has been sucessfully updated, you'll need to reboot to load the new firmware.


Reference - pygame.camera hangs on get_image()
