<EM>&gt; The main reason I was concerned about this is that the message you get from
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; gimp after xsane crashes (or is killed) suggests that gimp's internal memory
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; structures may have been corrupted, and that you should re-start gimp. That's
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; all I have to go on.

<P>We can't detect whether the plug-in went crazy before it died, and so
<BR>
we just advise users to restart if a plug-in suddenly crashes. This is
<BR>
a general warning on a &quot;better safe than sorry&quot; basis.
<BR>
<P>Actually 99% of crashes are completely benign, and don't adversely
<BR>
affect Gimp at all. This is very helpful when testing a plug-in because
<BR>
you don't need to keep re-starting Gimp :)
<BR>
<P>For your case, where we know that everything the plug-in did before its
<BR>
death was sane (pardon the pun) you can continue without significant
<BR>
additional risk of data corruption or problems AFAIK.
<BR>
<P>Nick.
