Please ignore my recent post I made about "[sane-devel] xsane and scanimage crashes" which you can find here: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2009-March/024182.html
The whole message didn't go through I don't know why, so I figure I make another new one adding more info to it. You can find the whole message here at pastebin: http://pastebin.com/f6149238
