Title:
  Recordmydesktop Crashing With Segmentation Fault

Status in recordmydesktop package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi Team,

  While trying to explore features/bugs in recordmydesktop application,
  I have come across a situation where the Application is crashing and
  showing the message "Segmentation Fault". I tried to debug the issue,
  but for some reason couldn't figure it out. The crash is very simple
  to reproduce. Please find below all the information:

  recordmydesktop version: recordMyDesktop v0.4.0
  OS used: Kali linux 2020.3 Vbox

  Steps to repro:

  1. Start the recording using default command with default options "recordmyscreen"
  2. Once, the recording is started and  it shows "Capturing", press "CTRL+ C" twice pretty fast.
  3. Once, the 2nd CTRL+C is pressed, it will show the error "Please wait...
  Output file: out-16.ogv
  [5%] ^CSegmentation fault
  "
  4. Also, there won't be any recording saved as well.

  I have pasted the entire transaction below and attached a screenshot
  as well:

  kali@kali:~$ recordmydesktop 
  Initial recording window is set to:
  X:0   Y:0    Width:1920    Height:940
  Adjusted recording window is set to:
  X:0   Y:6    Width:1920    Height:928
  Your window manager appears to be Xfwm4

  
  Detected compositing window manager.
  Reverting to full screen capture at every frame.
  To disable this check run with --no-wm-check
  (though that is not advised, since it will probably produce faulty results).

  Initializing...
  Buffer size adjusted to 4096 from 4096 frames.
  Opened PCM device default
  Recording on device default is set to:
  1 channels at 22050Hz
  Capturing!
