Software doesn't have problems, and hardware doesn't have problems. People have problems when they are disappointed by unexpected behavior, and the solution to those problems can be improvements of hardware or of software, or improvments of technique. Technique is the easiest solution, software is harder, and only a few people like me are capable of redesigning the chips! That is why publishing an easy solution ( replacing the .xsane config directory ) to the problem (xsane plus hardware locking up hard), is the Right Thing To Do. We hope that other users, assisted by Google, will have an easier time solving it. I prefer to publish solutions proactively when I find and solve a problem, because this maximizes the information flow for other users. Another preference is for accurate subject lines as discussions stray from the original subject.
