Comment 14 for bug 446373

Same problem here. Karmic 64-bit. xsane 0.996-2ubuntu1.1 starts and shows the scanner selection dialog. I select a network scanner and xsane crashes with the above message. Strange thing is, it doesn't always happen. Earlier in the same session xsane would start normally, and would crash only when I try to acquire a preview.

I took the liberty of changing the status to New, since the requested information has been provided, I hope that's alright.
