Quick report for 0.0.2
Apparently it is going a bit further than 0.0.1 - it enters and exits
scatter/gather and "larger logs" are created - but it hangs and it is not
possible to kill the process, even with a -9 or turning off the scanner. For
version 0.0.1 I could always kill the process just with a ^c.
I added some extra comments to try to detect in what situations the hang is
occurring, but without success. I will try harder ....
Do you think that it is better for me to adapt the avision driver of sane so
that it accepts the scanner instead of working with vuescan?
