If that's all you changed, then I can tell you without checking that
it works, since that's what I changed on my end to fix the problem.

Will do.

Sure enough, the second time I ran it (with a couple hours of screen
saver running in between), it continued to run with no output after
10 minutes.  strace on the running scanimage says:

   select(6, [5], NULL, NULL, NULL

strace on ptal-mcld dumps these at about 2 selects per second:

   select(8, [3 7], [], NULL, {0, 470000}) = 0 (Timeout)
   time(NULL)                              = 991944622
   select(8, [3 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)
   time(NULL)                              = 991944623
   select(8, [3 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)
   time(NULL)                              = 991944623
   select(8, [3 7], [], NULL, {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)
   time(NULL)                              = 991944624
