Responding to my own post ...
After downloading Mandrake 8's SANE [1.0.4] source rpm I
can confirm that it is the release tarball without
patches. This means some SCSI scanners will timeout
prematurely causing the above mentioned problems.
[Some USB scanners that use the sg interface (e.g.
Microtek) may also have this problem.]
I reported this error to Linux-Mandrake but have
received no acknowledgement. Mandrake users with
support may like to report this error as well. Mandrake
needs to issue a SANE (backend) rpm to fix this problem.
As a work around Mandrake users might try to remove the
Mandrake SANE rpms and install those from Redhat 7.1 .
Another approach may be to wait for SANE 1.0.5 to be
released.
