gst-launch-1.0 crash on second camera, first works

[patsandt]

I am running on an i.MX6 quad core with kernel = 4.1.18-i.MX6-PD15.3.1. For test purposes, I am kicking off my gst-launch-1.0 script in a slow loop. I've turned debugging on in gst-launch, so I now have additional information:

---- snip ----- This is the tail end of the last loop that worked...

Note, not all of the lines in the script are used in the gst-launch command: that is because there are several scripts provided by a contractor and other scripts do use the lines.
