At least in the log you sent me it fails in gl646_search_start_position,
trying to read the last 64 bytes of a scan. I am not aware of any
changes affecting that function.

I could change read_ordered_data to convert gray data to lineart. But
the changes to make the scanner output lineart are small: Set lineart
bit, modify read_bytes_left and words_per_line to correctly take lineart
into account(which would be setting depth correctly).
At least that did the trick for my scanner. I cannot test on a gl646, so
i am just attaching my idea of the changes needed. Please test.

Sounds like memory corruption. Thats always hard to track down..

You are fast to reply, it is so amazing.
 I will now contact to Brother and probably I will use my printer/scanner
for printing only with Linux. I still have xp on other machines so I can
still scan, no problem. If I find any news, I will let you know. If you hear
nothing from me, then they just dont support Linux for this scanner yet.
 Again, thank you.
Martin

a) Look up the device file(s) under /proc/bus/usb, they should have
   a write permission for everyone (nou relevant if you scan with
   su privileges)

b) Has the firmware file got the correct permissions?

c) Did you install SANE to /usr/local ? Sometimes it helps to
   link the sane.d directory to /etc:
   ln -s /usr/local/etc/sane.d /etc/sane.d
