While testing the pnm backend:

hmg@hmg1$ frontend/tstbackend --device-name pnm:0 -l1
TEST: init/exit
TEST: open/close
TEST: options consistency
lt-tstbackend: tstbackend.c:219: test_options: Assertion opt->constraint_type == SANE_CONSTRAINT_STRING_LIST' failed.
Abgebrochen

A SANE_TYPE_STRING can also be a single string that can be entered in
the frontend like the filename in this case.

Concerning the commented line:
    	     /*assert(opt->name != NULL);*/

I think this is valid for all but SANE_TYPE_GROUP.

With pnm, there is a segfault when testing option 14 (gamma). You
assume that SANE_Int is only 4 bytes but it may be an array of ints.
So better use mallocs for opt->size.

Then tstbackend doesn't like that pnm doesn't return SANE_STATUS_INVAL
when sane_control_option is called for an inactive option. I'm not
sure if this is a violation of the standard. Should I change this in
the pnm backend? The same is true for IS_SETTABLE.

Bye,
