cvReleaseImage throws exception

I created an image by capturing camera simple:

IplImage *img;
CvCapture *capture = cvCreateCameraCapture(0);
CvSize size = cvSize(1920, 1080);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH , size.width);
cvSetCaptureProperty(capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT , size.height);
img = cvQueryFrame(capture);
cvNamedWindow("VideoTest", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
cvShowImage("VideoTest", img);
cvReleaseImage(&img);

The problem is cvReleaseImage throws a memory exception. It cannot deallocate memory for image. How can I fix it?

yes, you should cvReleaseImage() all images you create,

but the image you get from the videocapture is the one exception to that rule. ( it hasn't got own memory, but uses mem inside the driver ) so don't release that!

Or just switch to the C++ openCV2.0 API and stop worrying about allocating and releasing memory yourself :)
