Comment 99 for bug 600219

Adding my two cents.....

As yaztromo says, segfaults seem to be more likely when the fax is originating from a particular sender. However, for me, when the "problem sender" would try to re-send the same fax, it could segfault in a different place each time. This would suggest that it is nothing in the data stream itself that triggers the error, but something in the control signals being exchanged perhaps? The people in the sending office told me that they have "a lot of problems with that machine (a Konica/Minolta 2900)", but I don't know exactly what that means. What office worker doesn't like to complain about their equipment? I looked up the brochure for the 2900, and it looks like a quality device, and not that old. Perhaps the control/status signals are causing an unexpected condition, or triggering the execution of badly-optimized code that clobbers the "this" pointer?
