On the affected devices, this can be reproduced by using the following code for a Camera MIDlet:
Player p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
p.realize();
p.prefetch();
videoControl = (VideoControl) p.getControl("VideoControl");
.......
videoControl.setVisible(true);
p.start(); // Starts the Player which crashes the Camera MIDlet
Solution
No solution exists for the affected devices.
