Runtime error with opencv_createsamples

edit

I am trying to create samples for cascade classifier training using opencv_createsamples. I used the following command:

 ./OpenCV-2.4.1/build/bin/opencv_createsamples -vec lab_object.vec -img symbol.jpg -bg bg_lab.txt -num 1000 -maxidev 30 -maxxangle 0.2616 -maxyangle 0.2616 -maxzangle 3.1417 -w 24 -h 24 -show

But I am getting the following output on the console along with the error:

Info file name: (NULL)
Img file name: symbol.jpg
Vec file name: lab_object.vec

I am using OpenCV-2.4.1on Ubuntu 12.04. I tried again by installing a newer version of Opencv. But I am still getting the same error while using opencv_createsamples.

I have also used valgrind to check if there is any problem with memory allocation and deallocation. I got the following result (I do not know how to interpret the result):
