I've encountered similar weirdness with Vuescan (don't remember the version number I'm on, but it's about 2 months old.) Usually only happens when batch scanning. Sometimes with B&W, sometimes with color. Instead of getting a weird cast, I get an image that's totally unrecognizeable. Looks like the memory has been corrupted. I actually saw this doing a single scan for the time ever. I was scanning all the negatives on a particular strip, but scanning one at a time. I ejected the film carrier, and did a new preview and a new scan, and all was well. I'm using the SS4000, too, on WinNT with 256 meg of memory. I rarely scan all the negatives in a single strip, so it's not a huge deal to me. I'm guessing that memory is being corrupted somewhere. But ejecting the carrier and re-inserting it helps.
