that would have been the hint

there are two possibilities why this is happening:
- there is a bug in Gem that doesn't mark the images as "old" (was this
on w32 or osx?)
- there is a "bug" in the image acquisition backend (DirectShow,
QuickTime,...) that just serves the same image twice as if it were new.


in the former case, we can fix it.
in the latter case we won't.

of course you can use the "black" image to detect whether the same image
was captured twice.
