    Input from "ordinary" users is always appreciated :-)

    I don't know too much about the pnm backend. Just a question. By
    removing the test for a readable pnm file the parameters are always
    reloaded. I understand that, you may be right here. But why the
    "filename[strlen(value)+1] = 0;"? Shouldn't filename contain a
    trailing zero?

    Bye,
