svn r397 failed to compile

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cd tesseract-ocr-read-only
2. ./configure
3. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected: main program executable api/tesseract
instead:
...
tesseractmain.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
tesseractmain.cpp:349: error: ‘ext’ was not declared in this scope
make[3]: *** [tesseractmain.o] Error 1
...
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
svn r397 on linux 2.6.18-128.el5

Please provide any additional information below.
api/.libs/libtesseract_api.a (471KB) seems much much smaller than it used
to be (23MB) in svn r319 (api/libtesseract_api.a)

fixed compile error by:
In api/tesseractmain.cpp:349:
  delete[] ext;
moved it up to line 344 so that it would be hidden if both HAVE_LIBLEP and 
_TIFFIO_
are #defined. Running 'make' again produced the expected executable 
api/tesseract.
Running tesseract (after make install):
$ tesseract foo.tif foo
Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine with Leptonica
Segmentation fault

fixed the 'segmentation fault' issue by patching the following to 
api/Makefile.am
followed by 'automake' (to regenerate api/Makefile.in):

But not sure if this is the right thing to do. Would someone alert me if there 
is a
proper fix to the issue.
