You are right, that will be fixed.

If I understand the code flow correctly, sane_cancel must be called if
anything but sane_start, sane_read, or sane_get_parameters should be
called.

Have I said before that I don't like the double meaning of
sane_cancel ("stop current action" + "this was the last scan in a
series")? :-)

The frame is over after EOF. So why do we need sane_cancel here in
normal operation?
