    xsane has been working well here for many months with my Epson
    Perfection 1650. Following a recent upgrade via Sid it now crashes.

    In detail, it initially recognizes the scanner and starts to scan but
    then hangs. I therefore kill the running xsane and try again. Now it
    says it can't find the scanner. However, if I unplug the scanner and
    replug it (Google suggestion), we sometimes get back to the starting
    point but again it locks up.

    Results of sane-find-scanner:

    "found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0110) at libusb:001:006"

    Contents of /etc/sane.d/epson.conf:

    # epson.conf

    # here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend
    #
    # SCSI scanner:
    # scsi EPSON

    # USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could
    # otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being
    # recognized.
    # Depending on your distribution, you may need either the
    # first or the second entry.
    usb
    #usb /dev/usbscanner0
    usb /dev/usb/scanner0
    usb 0x4b8 0x110
    --------------------------------------------

    This is with Debian kernel 2.6.10-1-686 #1

    I've reported this as a bug. Any suggestions?
