xsane alone also hung at the device detection, strace (full strace
attached) said:
open("/dev/parport0", O_RDONLY|O_NOCTTY) = 8
ioctl(8, PPCLAIM, 0xb6a8f4d4
The only thing I used the parallel port for was an LCD, so I stopped
lcd4linux. Then xsane continued normally. As I currently don't have an
LCD attached that's a workaround.
I am not sure when this problem started to occur as I don't use gimp
(and my scanner) that often, but I'd guess it was caused by a somewhat
recent (a few weeks) update.
