Sry Robert but i need to reopen, as it at least also happens with
2.32.0-0ubuntu4 backported to lucid, though the reason is different.

I tested it on 300 DPI Text profile. Saving 43 pages worked. But
scanning further until about the double amount of pages saving crashes
the app:

GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/glib/gmem.c:137: failed to allocate 
26779794 bytes
aborting...
Aborted

While saving it already produced a 25,4 MB PDF that get corrupted on
crash. Maybe this is due to too low memory. I did it on a machine with 1
GB RAM, before starting Simple Scan memory usage was 290 MB and did not
run something else during scanning.

This should be revalidated on maverick.

To reproduce:
1. Put a page on the scanner and leave it there the whole time.
2. Run "simple-scan -d > ~/simple-scan.log" in a terminal.
3. Use Tab to focus the "Scan" button.
4. Press "Return" multiple times (say about 50 times or more).
5. Do something else until you got a lot of pages scanned.
6. Try to save.
