Found the bug.  Not even sure how it even compiled.   

A new tarball (1.11.3.1) with the fixed (and tested) code is now on 
sourceforge.

There might be a path through the code that misses the check to change the 
state of this button.  What would help me is for you to describe the exact 
steps/conditions when this happens which might not be easy since it does not 
appear to happen in most cases.   That would make it easier for me to 
reproduce and also give me some clues about were to look.   I will also do 
some testing to see if I can find where this is happening.  The new settings 
code affected how this works and I probably over looked something.

Again like the above could you describe the exact sequence of steps you went 
through for this to occur.   Does the Profile Checker dialog open?  Does this 
error happen when you press the Inspect Profile button?  If the dialog opens 
what values do you have for Profile: Target: and Measurement: ?  And do these 
appear to be valid to you?

I don't think this has anything to do with specific version of libraries.  As 
long as lcms is fairly recent.  I have been testing with 1.14 and have tested 
with 1.13 in the past.  But I have not tested yet with 1.15.

The new profiles should be way better than those created with the old 
non-local convergence algorithm in every respect.  Larger gamut, much lower 
delta E numbers and smoother CLUT curves.  These new profiles will have about 
the same gamut as the old local convergence algorithm but with slightly 
better delta E numbers and way smoother CLUT curves.  Getting the CLUT curves 
smooth was the main point of the new algorithm but on the whole it has 
improved every aspect of these profiles.  In addition it runs faster than the 
local convergence algorithm.  At this point I personally believe that the new 
algorithm is generating profiles that are as good as anything out there even 
the multi-thousand dollar "professional" commercial profilers.
