Upgrading from kernel 2.4.16.6 to 2.4.16.11 fixed Sane, including the crashing problem on snanner power-off.
1 minor issue left: xsane works, but not the icon does not because the icon uses a (bad) command of /usr/bin/xsane /dev/usb/scanner0 This needs to be changed to just: /usr/bin/xsane I can probably find this in the docs somewhere tomorrow. Sincerly, Michael Bushey
