Hi,
I should try to run it in a debugger, although I'm not quite sure how to do that. I
tried enabling the pnm "backend" to test scanning from a file, and there were no
crashes, so this makes me think that the snapscan backend is to blame, although the
behavior of the pnm backend with respect to previewing is not the same as a real
backend, since you can't change the scan area. I am trying something else now. We have
another scanner, a Microtek V6USL, so I will give it a try with that one and see if
that doesn't improve things...
Unfortunately, I just tried and it seems to be precipitating a general meltdown . An
old junky harddrive seems to be failing, so I may have to rebuild the system. Argh!
John.
