I recently (this morning, I believe) cvsup'd and my scanner stopped
working.  Usually, scanimage recognises /dev/scanner which is a link
to /dev/pass4 ... which is my scanner.

I noticed several interesting things.  If I connect the scanner to
another SCSI bus (I have two), then camcontrol rescan doesn't find new 
devices --- I would expect the pass device to show up (it does at
boot).  Another thing is the output of scanimage -L (which tries to
probe the scanner):

[1:7:307]dgilbert@trooper:~> scanimage -L
     0: 00000000000000                      .......
     0: 00000000000000                      .......
     0: 00000000000000                      .......
     0: 00000000000000                      .......

... I tried recompiling and reinstalling scanimage (BTW... there's a
"syntax error" or two in the gimp port right now) ... but it's output
didn't change.  It did take slightly longer to produce the output
... I don't know if that is significant.

Dave.
