Motion segfaults while opening camera

Kernel 5.15.4-0-lts, Alpine edge. Motion has trouble opening the camera device, and segfaults after a short time. The segfault happens after repeated requests to the stream server (http://127.0.0.1:8081/1/stream in my case).

Dmesg excerpt (two separate crashes)
