In that set of tests, #1 checks that the Sane Perl library can be
found. This must have passed, as all the other tests would have failed
otherwise. #2 checks the status having opened the test backend. I
assume opening the test backend is hanging.

If this continues to be a problem, the next check would be to try the
tests built into scanimage.

Thanks for your work on this.
