    The same error occurs with the new snapshot sane-devel-20000123.

    A quick grep shows code for non blocking reads in xcam.c and saned.c, too.
    Could somebody look into these, too?

    Does work with Linux 2.2.5, 2.0.36. Doesn't work with 2.2.10 and 2.2.14. I
    couldn't find anything in the Kernel mailing list archives. Is it possible
    to deactivate /dev/port somewhere in the kernel configuration?

    Ciao, Henning
