Hi!
<BR>
<P>[Petter Reinholdtsen]
<BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [Jochen Eisinger]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; What about just checking the backend name against &quot;dll&quot; while
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; reading the dll.conf? This avoids that dll segfaults if dll is
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; listed in the dll.conf.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Why do dll segfault? Shouldn't this be fixed first?
</EM><BR>
Because the dll - backend is loaded recursivly about 100.000 times...
<BR>
actually dll doesn't segfault, but sooner or later one of the backends
<BR>
segfaults when allocating new memory.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I have not tested the patch, but it looks OK to me. I only suspect it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; might be the wrong fix. :-)
</EM><BR>
Ok, might be... I've another fix: instead of linking libsane.* to
<BR>
sane/libsane-dll.* we could copy libsane-dll.* to libsane.* and remove
<BR>
the dll-backend from the lib/sane/ directory. This way, the dll-backend
<BR>
can't load itself (because it isn't present as a backend)
<BR>
<P>what about this?
<BR>
