I switched to using this in inetd.conf:
sane stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd saned
.. and wrapped /usr/local/sbin/saned with this script at
/usr/sbin/saned:
#!/bin/sh
SANE_DIR=/tmp
SANE_DEBUG_LOG=/tmp/saned.log
SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128
SANE_DEBUG_NET=128
SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=128
SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN=128
export SANE_DEBUG_DLL SANE_DEBUG_NET SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI
SANE_DEBUG_SNAPSCAN
exec /usr/local/sbin/saned 2> $SANE_DEBUG_LOG
... now it works. I found that geocrawler had a searchable archive of
the sane list, and found this solution there. There's apparently a
subtle bug with saned that turning on logging fixes. Lately, a computer
science professor and his students have been running the linux kernel
through a special gcc that locates subtle bugs that may not normally
cause a crash. Might be worthwhile to try doing that the saned.
Thanks, everyone!
