Using the dummy camera with no network results in a delay during preinitialize() and initialize()

Edward wrote:

"The Random demo, if I select the dummy camera and have wifi turned off (not sure whether that is relevant) takes a very long time to preinitialize and initialize. Not sure why... Maybe related to the getResource() issues that you have encountered."

Disconnecting from the network and then running

java -classpath '.:./lib/*' ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication ./ptolemy/actor/lib/jjs/modules/imageFilters/demo/ImageFilters/Random.xml

and then running jstack on the java pid shows that the process is hanging while trying to get discover the camera:

This looks like a bug the Webcam package, we would need to track it down there.
