I'm trying to stream an IP webcam ASF live stream to a ffserver to output a webm video format. The server starts successfully but the ffserver commands used to feed the ffserver fails and generates a core dump.
Environment
Debian 7.5 ffmpeg 2.2
Input stream
$ ffprobe http://account:password@webcam/videostream.asf
Input #0, asf, from 'http://admin:alpha1237@webcam/videostream.asf':
Duration: N/A, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 32 kb/s
Stream #0:0: Video: mjpeg (MJPG / 0x47504A4D), yuvj422p(pc), 640x480, 25 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc
Stream #0:1: Audio: adpcm_ima_wav ([17][0][0][0] / 0x0011), 8000 Hz, 1 channels, s16p, 32 kb/s
ffserver configuration
my ffserver configuration is :
Port 8091
RTSPPort 554
BindAddress 192.168.1.62
MaxHTTPConnections 1000
MaxClients 100
MaxBandwidth 1000

I run the following command that fails
$ ffmpeg -i http://account:password@webcam/videostream.asf http://192.168.1.62:8091/webcam.ffm
http://192.168.1.62:8091/webcam.ffm

Segmentation fault
I tryed
$ ffmpeg -i http://account:password@webcam/videostream.asf -pix_fmt yuv420p http://192.168.1.62:8091/webcam.ffm
But it raises the same error.
Thanks for your help
Edit
For an easy testing (I thought), I tried to publish the whole ASF stream as is, meaning connecting the ASF webcam output stream to the ffserver that outputs ASF format too. And thus with mirrored encoding so I changed the ffserver configuration to
...
<Stream webcam.asf>
Feed webcam.ffm
Format asf
VideoFrameRate 25
VideoSize 640X480
VideoBitRate 256
VideoBufferSize 1000
VideoGopSize 30
AudioBitRate 32
StartSendOnKey
</Stream>
...
And the output is now :
Input #0, asf, from 'http://admin:alpha1237@webcam/videostream.asf':

I can't even forward the stream.
