What's happening here is libsane being a terrible, terrible library.
colord-sane polls for new scanners (because libsane is terrible, and
doesn't generate an event when a new scanner is available), and libsane
(because it is terrible) leaks a file descriptor each time it is polled.
Eventually, we run out of file descriptors and colord-sane crashes.
Fortunately all this does is prevent new scanners from being detected
for colour management purposes. Annoyingly, it also pops up a crash
dialog.
I know how to fix it, and am doing so.
** Changed in: colord (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress
