This is a serious bug. If the backend can't do what scanimage -T asks
of it, then it's broken. If we're shipping a backend that can't manage
scanimage -T then it should have a BUG entry in the man page warning
that's its not a conforming backend, and someone should being trying to
fix the bug.
This is why I wrote scanimage -T -- if your backend can't manage to do
what scanimage -T asks, then it doesn't conform to the SANE standard
=> any frontend may mysteriously crash or lock up at any time.
