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).
