  I have the solution, the problem was that I open the device but I don't close it, this
possibly produced an "overload" to the user's memory allocation, because C language
don't has a garbage recollector.
Only I put the function comedi_close(*cf), in the end of the function captura.c to
resolve all my problems (except with my girlfriend, of course XD).
Thanks David, your answer shows me the way.
