OK, we'll take other components (drivers) into account as well.

Let's summarize the tests:
GOOD FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT with xsane
GOOD Linux 2.4.26-pre2 with vuescan
GOOD Linux 2.4.26-pre2 with iscan
GOOD Linux 2.6.4 with vuescan
NO-GO Linux 2.6.4 with iscan (xsane works sometimes)
Something is different between 2.4.X and 2.6.X. Something in the iscan
(which is provided by Epson) code seems to trigger the problem quick.
(iscan also implements an "epkowa" driver in SANE).

Last few lines of logging before starting application (if this isn't
sufficient, ask for more, I have USB verbose debug on and it ios just
spamming the log at boot-up) on 2.4.26-pre2:
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: hub.c: port 2, portstatus 101, change 3, 12 Mb/s
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: hub.c: port 2, portstatus 101, change 2, 12 Mb/s
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin last message repeated 3 times
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: hub.c: port 2, portstatus 103, change 0, 12 Mb/s
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:10.1-2, assigned address 2
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: usb.c: kmalloc IF cc1f7640, numif 1
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: usb.c: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: usb.c: USB device number 2 default language ID 0x409
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: Manufacturer: EPSON
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: Product: EPSON Scanner
Mar 12 00:36:18 merlin kernel: usb.c: unhandled interfaces on device
And running the user-space software causes just resmgr logging and this
line (multiple times):
Mar 12 00:43:06 merlin kernel: usb.c: usbdevfs driver claimed interface cc1f7640
No errors visible in the application or in the syslog. It "just works".
Is the stuff that used to be handled by usbdevfs in 2.4 handled by the
usbcore driver in 2.6?
Might there be timing differences between 2.4 and 2.6 that confuse the
scanner?
Is there an easy way to sniff USB traffic, an analogon to tcpdump might
be helpful to see if there are differences in traffic?
I straced the processes for fun, here's the tail of the log - the last
line is incomplete here, it's not a cut&paste problem.
8096 gettimeofday({1079045368, 79020}, NULL) = 0
8096 ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
8096 poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}], 2, 0) = 0
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe1e4) = 6
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe220) = 4096
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe220) = 4096
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe220) = 4096
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe220) = 4096
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK, 0xbfffe220) = 4096
8096 ioctl(11, USBDEVFS_BULK
Anyways, thank you so far!
