I've just fired up 0.6.0.  I can report that the retry code is being
triggered, and is doing it's job.  This means that grabbing is working
reliably with gqcam and vidcat.

  cpia.c(16702502):fetch_frame(2322):first frame 
  cpia.c:parse_picture(2171):line length was not 1 but -2 after 676/155041 bytes
  cpia.c(16702533):fetch_frame(2373):parse_picture failed -1 
  cpia.c(16702533):fetch_frame(2317):retry=1 
  cpia.c(16702533):fetch_frame(2322):first frame 

Cheers,
