because sane runs in the same address space ( Bug #564357 ) there is nothing we can do to stop a buggy driver from corrupting simple scan's address space and making it crash in the most fascinating ways.
from experience I can say most comparable issues are caused by bad drivers. simple scan is to blame some times but it is reasonable to blame the hardware and the driver by default. that link also serves the purpose to make it clear that nothing will happen without your initiative, no matter if the problem is in simple scan or sane. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752502 Title: simple-scan crashed with SIGSEGV in vfprintf() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/752502/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
