[sane-devel] Xsane 0.94 Memory access error (Speicherzugriffsfehler)

[Kees Lemmens]

Hi,

I have the same problem with xsane 0.94, but although  it indeed works 
for most users, with some other users the problem doesn't disappear by 
just removing the xsane.rc ! 

For those users where it still crashed we could fix the problem by 
changing the version number from 0.91 to 0.94 in xsane.rc and remove 
most of the remaining lines except the first 10 or so.

However, as soon as you would rename the xsane.rc the seg faults occur 
again, so we really think there must be more wrong than only this minor 
xsane.rc problem.

Attached a coredump analysis using gdb. Seems to be gdk related. Maybe 
something todo with their personalized Gdk/Gtk settings ?

Bye,
Kees Lemmens.
