Hi,
<BR>
<P>I've just got an Acer Prisa 620s, but I'm having trouble doing previews.
<BR>
<P>xsane does a seg fault.
<BR>
<P>My kernel is 2.4.4, SCSI card is Adaptec aha152x. using xsane 0.76.
<BR>
<P>I've tried sane-backends-1.0.4 and the most recent cvs snapshot
<BR>
sane-cvs-2001-05-20.tar.gz. Both give quite similar results.
<BR>
<P>I read the sane.ps API documentation, and by running xsane under a
<BR>
debugger it appears that the scanner is sending too much data. I added a
<BR>
check into xsane-preview.c, preview_increment_image_y, which checks if
<BR>
p-&gt;image_y &gt;= p-&gt;image_height. If this is true, the buffer will be
<BR>
overrun. Perhaps this is legal on the last iteration in the read, but I
<BR>
think that a check of this kind needs to be made. Perhaps there is
<BR>
another place in the code where it would be more appropriate. At least
<BR>
my xsane reports an error now instead of seg faulting :-).
<BR>
<P>BTW, a BUG in xsane in increment_image_y: if there is an error, and
<BR>
xsane_back_gtk_error is called, then preview_read_image_data will be
<BR>
called (by gtk io scheduler), resulting in a seg fault. It seems that
<BR>
calling preview_scan_done before calling xsane_back_gtk_error fixes this
<BR>
problem, although the value of errno must be saved before calling
<BR>
preview_scan_done() for use in generating the error message.
<BR>
<P>Surprisingly, scanimage -L (or whatever the check program is) performed
<BR>
scan reads of different sizes and reported the correct amounts (for
<BR>
1.0.4 - didn't test the cvs version).
<BR>
<P>I tried running saned with
<BR>
<P>SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=255 ./saned -d255
<BR>
<P>and redirecting the output. I checked the size inquiry before the scan
<BR>
data was read, and from the get_parameters call which occurs just after
<BR>
the scan started. It seems that these two are not returning the same
<BR>
number of lines. should they be? I can post log output if you want.
<BR>
<P>I would probably get further with this if I could figure out how to get
<BR>
into snapscan.c with a debugger, but the shared library architecture has
<BR>
been conspiring against me in this respect. I have the idea of the
<BR>
source chain alright, but I want to poke about in it while it's in action.
<BR>
<P>I'm a C++ programmer, and I find the C way of doing this stuff to be a
<BR>
bit 'messy' by comparison, but them's the breaks when you use other
<BR>
people's software.
<BR>
<P>Any help appreciated.
<BR>
Ben.
