This is not really a bug in libv4l, but more of a problem with error
tolerance in the application you are using. However many apps don't handle any kind of errors all that well. So the latest libv4l will retry (get a new
frame) jpeg decompression errors a number of times.

You are right, application is quite rough and doesn't have any tolerance.

But why such bad bytes appear in the first place? I think they are sent by the
camera deliberately to indicate something and Windows driver must be knowing
what do they mean. But libv4l just can't interpret them correctly.
