    I have an Epson 1240U and upgraded to Slackware 8.0 last week, but
    everything works fine for me, just as it did under Slackware 7.1 (I run
    sane 1.04). Try to recompile sane 1.04 and see if it works ?

    Note that the libs under 8.0 have changed significantly, which may
    explain the segfaults.
