On Motorola Droid, Firmware 2.1-update1, Kernel 2.9.29-omap1, Build # ESE81

When attempting to take a picture, mediaserver dies with a segmentation fault.

I've tried putting takePicture in a timer and running it a few seconds after camera initialization to check for race conditions, but no change. Just calling Camera.open() doesn't cause the crash. Also, calling Camera.open() causes what I think is the autofocus motor to make a sort of ticking sound.

Code that breaks:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public final class ChopperMain extends Activity {
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    try {
        Camera camera = Camera.open();
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        camera.takePicture(
                new Camera.ShutterCallback() {
                    public void onShutter() {
                        ;
                    }
                }, 
                new Camera.PictureCallback() {
                    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
                        ;
                    }
                },
                new Camera.PictureCallback() {
                    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
                        ;
                    }
                },
            new PictureCallback() {
                public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
                    System.out.println("Ta da.");
                }
            }
        });

    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }
}
