I have also just tried to use the "\%S" string in the "text" argument 
for drawtext, in order to introduce updating time stamp ('S' standing in 
for seconds, I believe) - and this results in a segmentation fault. I 
tried it few months ago - and it used to work. Something must have 
changed in the meanwhile.

Here is the command:
   ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -t 600 -f mjpeg -r 5 -s 640x480 \
     -i http://localhost:8080/?action=stream -vcodec mpeg4 \
     -vf drawtext="fontfile=mitra.ttf:x=40:y=430: \
     text='\%S test': \
     fontcolor=0xFFFFFFFF:fontsize=22: \
     shadowcolor=0x000000EE:shadowx=2:shadowy=2" \
     -b 1000000 -r 5 /var/myapp/test.avi
