[hpoj-devel] Sane owner?

So, David, are you the sane owner, too?  If so, I just noticed a couple
problems tonight.

First, with xsane, the size rulers along the top & left of the preview
window don't seem to mesh.  When set to inches, the top seems OK, but
the side is garbage.  The numbers are roughly 1.5 X too high.

I also had sane lock up on me while scanning.  I was getting a preview
scan of the entire bed after putting in a new photo.  It had scanned
almost the entire thing, when it just stopped.  XSane wouldn't refresh
its windows.  There were no syslog messages & nothing to stdout/stderr.
After a minute or two, the scanner light returned to home, but still
no refresh from xsane.  This happened just as cron launched a very
large tar followed by gzip, but that may be coincidence.

When attempting to restart xsane, it brought up the "scanning for
devices" window and hung.  I had to kill -9 xsane.  I stopped &
restarted the ptal brothers.  I then noticed my PSC 500's LCD said
"Scanner system failure.  Turn system off and on again," which I did.  
That all seemed to fix the problem.  Still no log entries other than
the startup banners.  (Perhaps a log entry for every shutdown would
also be in order.)

Upon restarting xsane, I see that the vertical ruler is now correct.
Hmmm...
