BUG: GigE camera (Basler ace 2 a2A3840-13gcBAS) stops grabbing images after prolonged continuous time #861

@Samanek-Jan

Describe the issue:

When running the camera in continuous grabbing mode with GrabStrategy_LatestImageOnly and GrabLoop_ProvidedByInstantCamera after several days (4-7 days) the camera stops sending images and the ImageEventHandler stops receiving any data. ConfigurationEventHandler does not receive any signal either. But the camera stays connected.
The camera is set to grabbing speed at 2 fps.
I'm using pypylon version 4.2.0.

Information regarding the camera firmware:
Image

During the grabbing I'm monitoring these statistics on the camera:

  stat_params = [
      'Statistic_Total_Buffer_Count',
      'Statistic_Failed_Buffer_Count',
      'Statistic_Buffer_Underrun_Count',
      'Statistic_Total_Packet_Count',
      'Statistic_Failed_Packet_Count',
      'Statistic_Resend_Request_Count',
      'Statistic_Resend_Packet_Count',
  ]

but nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

Thy system is running in docker

Reproduce the code example:

I'm not sure.
For me the reproduction is to just run image grabbing for long enough.
