defunct reader process after scan an image...

Hi all!

Currently I am writing a backend for the AVISION AV630CS-scanner.
Grayscale, Dithered, Line Art and True color are working, in
preview mode also. Scan speed, quality scan/calibration switch is
implemented, resolution is scalable from 50 dpi up to 1200 dpi.
Windowsize is scalable also :-)

BUT: There is one problem. The resulting images are ok - while
reading those with xv, I get NO "truncated image data" or something
like that warning. On the other hand, the progress bar ends its work
before reaching the 100% mark. There is not MUCH way left, but...

AND (more bad) after scanning a picture I'll get a "defunct" reader
process. Hmmm....

Does anyone out there has any clue, why this happens?
For e it looks like, that the reader process THINKS there is
some data left to read. But all parts of the program read from
the same source of information. So, if the reader process is
wrongly informed: Why is the data of the image correct?????

ANY help VERY appreciated...otherwise I will get pixelized ;o)
