--- Comment #18 from Johannes Meixner 2012-04-04 08:18:27 UTC ---
Of course when a segmentation fault happens in a library
it does not necessarily mean that the bug is in the library
(e.g. when a segmentation fault happens in glibc but the root cause
is in an application that called a glibc function in a wrong way).
But in this particular case it could mean that the bug is in
a library for which we do not have the source code so that
we can neither reproduce it (we do not have a scanner that
uses a non-SANE driver) nor can we fix it.
If LibreOffice does not crash when trying to insert a picture
from scanners using other drivers (not Brother's brscan3)
then it indicates that in this particular case the root cause
is likely not in LibreOffice but in Brother's libsane-brother3.so.
I assume if LibreOffice would crash in any case when trying
to insert a picture from any scanner, we should have got
more such bug reports.
Michael Haussmann,
in comment #0 you wrote that "this happens with my brother DCP-195C
multi function device, but as you could read in the net also with
other scanners".
Please provide info for which exact other scanner models it also
happens so that I can check which scanner drivers are used.
Perhaps all those other scanners need drivers from Brother?
Preferably provide URLs where the issue is reported for other
scanners so that I can have a look at the original postings.
