Just looking at this for the first time, but shouldn't the first part
of the conditional be "cf->count > frames_count"? cf->count would be
the one that gets incremented on new frames, so there should never be
a case where it's less than frames_count, only greater or equal.
To answer the actual question though - I don't think we should do
anything. Existing frames that we haven't processed yet are simply not
displayed when the user hits abort, so I think it's perfectly sane for
us to not display any new frames in that case either.
