Bug Description
Ubuntu 14.04
Motion 3.2.12
Invoking timelapse in home/motion.conf causes the following cyclic error. Motion detection continues to work as expected - it is just the time-lapse function causing the error. Worked as expected until 2 days ago. Lots of similar errors can be found via searching but no solution:

Possibly some similarities with this bug #281436.
