[sane-devel] Failing to test Mustek 1200 UB plus

[Ralph Little]

Hi,
I'm currently dealing with some family matters so I'll be out of the loop
for about 2 or 3 weeks but I would be keen to look into the crash when I
get back.

If you haven't yet, perhaps create an issue against xsane to track it.

Cheers,
Ralph
