Segfault from scanimage

I've been trying to get SANE up and running on my Redhat 6 system with
a Umax Astra 610S scanner and a futuredomain-based SCSI card. The
SCSI card works fine with my CD burner. The scanner has worked fine
on other systems (including with SANE) in the past.

I have a symlink from /dev/scanner to /dev/sg1, the correct device.

With previous attempts to configure SANE, "scanimage --list-devices"
found and identified the scanner fine, but xscanimage segfaulted. I
attributed this to the binary RPM I was using, and tried rebuilding
from source. With the source build (and with the binary RPM I'm
currently trying), "scanimage -L" itself segfaults.

Every build I've tried has been of sane 1.0.1. Since I haven't added
debugging flags yet, gdb'ing the core dump just gives me a backtrace
of:
(gdb) where
#0 strcmp (p1=0x80aadb4 "/dev/sga",
p2=0x6167732f <Address 0x6167732f out of bounds>)
at ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c:39
#1 0x401fd2dc in sanei_hp_device_info_get ()

which may not be helpful. I'm hoping that this is a recognizable
problem with a known fix, but if it isn't and anyone could use better
debugging info, let me know.
