Yeah, I had though so too... AFAICT the opt pointer that xsane used was directed into a generic buffer that sanei_* used for its net traffic. In some circumstances the buffer would get 'refilled' with the same opt structure prior to menu_list[].label getting dereferenced so the right data would be at that location and everything would just work. However, if you use gdb to break on writes to the memory location stored during the initial "menu_items[i].label = str_list[i];" line (in the unpatched xsane-front-gtk.c:xsane_option_menu_new() function) you should find that it gets overwritten regularly as data are transferred through the net backend. I'll admit to getting a little lost in the sanei_* calls that do the dirty work though... -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
