[sane-devel] XSane preview crashes under FreeBSD

[Alex Teslik]

Hello,

  I saw this problem reported under Solaris in February when I searched the
lists, but no answer was given as to what could fix it or why it happens. The
problem is that when I preview scan I can see the preview image updating all
the way to the bottom, but the moment it finishes Xsane crashes with a
segmentation fault.
  I ran xsane through gdb with SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=256 set in the
environment. The exact command under tcsh was:

gdb ./xsane |& tee ~alex/xsane_debug.txt

The tail end of the output looks like:

<-----snip----->

File is 753812 bytes. Looks to me like a problem in preview_autoselect_scanarea?
I have also included in the tar.gz the preview file that was created during
the preview scan.

BTW - I am using a Microtek ScanMaker5 that is not listed as working under
microtek2, but works great. Thanks Karsten!

Thanks,
Alex
