Hmm.  This seems like something that should be checked by the program,
not merely assumed and left to segfault later.  Where should I report
this bug?

It's also rather counter-intuitive; it's my primary scanner device, so
having a '/dev/scanner' symlink is a logical policy, and not something
that should create assumptions about which bus it is connected to.
