Created attachment 17615 [details] automatically generated report including stack trace Bug report automatically generated first time Xsane ran. No further occurrences since and seems now to be working ok.
This appears to be a crash in Xsane, not in the X server. It's not clear why you filed this here at all, let alone as a security bug...
Hi Sorry if the bug report went to the wrong place. I am unfamiliar with the bug reporting page and must have missed out making a selection from a pick list somewhere. It's a pity the bug report generator doesn't provide the correct email address... I suppose I'll just have to ignore the bug reports in future as I found the reporting page just too complicated. Thanks anyway.

Bugs in Xsane should be filed with the Xsane project. It's a fine project and all, this just isn't their bug system. http://www.xsane.org/xsane-contact.html
Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure you are right about Xsane being a fine project. its a bit frustrating though, when you just try to help by submitting a bug report but can't find anywhere for it to go. Never, mind; I'll know next time. Sorry you were troubled.
