Comment 7 for bug 1029670

I'm surprised this is still happening?

I can't seem to reproduce this at all anymore. I fired everything up a few hours ago, and try as i did to scan, stop suddenly, delete it or start scanning again, whatever i tried...it slowly got on with the next job i set and all with no crashes. :)

I find following the code itself incredibly difficult (and not just because i'm not used to vala lol), but i thought i'd be helpful and build it with clang to look for outstanding errors (really i was trying to look for some sort of obvious deletion of an already deleted entity. If it's there, it's beyond my abilities to see it.)

HOWEVER...aside from a LOT of dead assignments/initialisations (some/all of which may be false-positives) there are 7 null pointer dereferences in the code and since they're unsafe/problematic/apocalyptic, i've put them in bug #1212452 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/simple-scan/+bug/1212452)
