 I think it is the nature of bugs like these that they aren't easy to
 reproduce - after all it seems to be a compiler bug.

 I'm fine with it. Could you create a patch against the current xsane

 At the moment, I am spending a few months abroad without a FreeBSD machine
 at hand. Therefore I would be very glad if you could do me that favor.
