Will depend on your linux distro, some use hal instead of udev rules, or some other thing. It is best to ask on a distro-specific forum just how your particular distro version manages device permissions. allan On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 3:40 PM, Yury Tarasievich wrote:

I'm no expert either, but your basic analysis seems correct- once you have returned from pthread_join(), the thread is gone, and its return value has been popped. I suppose it is possible that the pthread_join could fail in a way that might leave the thread running, perhaps because of a deadlock?

I removed SANE_CAP_ALWAYS_SETTABLE because it was not in the sane standard, and the only backend that used it set it on every option. As it's intended purpose was not defined by standard, I hoped that it would disappear. If the distros are going to shove it back in, I guess that will never happen.
