what type of scanner is this and what version of microtek2.c did you

Maybe there is a variable of the wrong (too short) type overflowing.

These variables (I think you mean the lines
md->model_flags |= MD_DATA_FORMAT_WRONG;
md->n_control_bytes = 320;)
are only useful for special scanner types, probably not for your one.
If you can send me a logfile, I will have a look if I can find the
mistake.
For the logfile please set in your microtek2.conf
option dump 3
and in a terminal
export SANE_DEBUG_MICROTEK2=128
You can start then
xscanimage 2>xscan.log
in this terminal which creates the file xscan.log.
Please do only one scan because the logfile is getting pretty big (and
please zip the file for sending it)
probably you already know all these things about the logfile, I only
tell
for sure.
greetings
Karsten
P.S. By the way; does Alcatel uses Linux in a big style?
