One problem found: pnm doesn't follow the SANE standard in case of
EOF. It just returns SANE_STATUS_EOF without setting *length to 0.
Further more, saned doesn't check the return status of sane_read, it
just increases the pointer to the buffer by length (which is the same
value as in the last sane_read). I will fix pnm in CVS and do some
more tests.
I don't know if it's a similar error in plustek. On first sight, it
looks like plustek sets *length = 0 in any case.
Bye,
