I can't reproduce this problem with Otave 2.1.48 on a Debian system.

The image that I get after using your takepicture function doesn't
look the same as the original (i.e.,

  imshow (takepicture (100));

does not show the same thing as using an image viewer to display the
original) but I'm not sure whether that is by design or because of
some other problem.  In any case, it doesn't crash Octave.
