libsane-pnm bugs?

Have other folks' experiences with libsane-pnm been generally positive or
negative? I keep discovering inconsistencies in it, and it generally seems
to not work as advertised. In particular:

* it seems to segfault in sane_read sometimes (Linux 2.0.36). I've checked
to make sure that my memory blocks are all getting allocated. I realize
that I might be having some problems since I'm writing inside of an XSUB,
and there may be perl wackiness going on. However, libsane-umax doesn't
segfault :-)

* when three-pass is set to true, I get GREEN frames over and over, and
never get anything else. I'm calling sane_start after I get the EOF flag
for each frame, but still get the danged GREEN frames.

For what it's worth, xv renders my sample PNM file properly, so I assume
that it's clean.
