Just to make sure I 'll say it again.

I had a problem with the net bakend. Is this a known problem or is it
just me? Is it fixed or nobody else sees it?

Subject: testing sane-pre1.01-3

In Redhat-5.1

It builds beautifully.

scanimage -d apple -T
passed the test.
but when I enabled the saned (SANE net) I got segfaults...

Is this normal?... Looks like some integer turned around (signed,
unsigned).

I can test it more if you like but I am not really familiar with the net
functionality of SANE.
