[sane-devel] Mac OS X: make errors

[Peter Schoenrank]

My apologies for my tardy reply. I recently upgraded from Mac OS X  
10.3 to 10.5, and I have been busy learning about the (sometimes  
idiotic) differences.

No.

I am sure that Activity Monitor showed scanimage using 0.0 CPU for a  
very long time before I restarted my Mac.

I had to restart: nothing else I tried would stop the scanimage  
process. kill -9 and sudo killall didn’t work. Quit and Force Quit in  
Activity Monitor did not work. Closing the Terminal window didn’t  
work. Logging out and back in didn’t work.

No. I do not have a /var/log/syslog or a /var/log/messages.

/var/log/system.log does not go back that far and I don’t seem to have  
any old system.logs. Mac OS X 10.3 kept old logs around; why 10.5  
doesn’t seem to is yet another 10.5 peculiarity for me to investigate,  
later.

That is my recollection, though I am not 100% certain. I will try  
again in the near future.
