Fixed in CVS.

I have also changed this. 

It would be even better if it was possible to set the buffer size
at runtime using SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE. This is only implemented for
Linux currently as far as I know.

Did anyone else have problems with the 128 KB buffers on Solaris?

If we don't use "-e", we can't use the escape sequences like "\n" for
newline. So we can't just remove the -e. I guess we can output the
usage message with separatede echo commands instead but is there no
easier solution? Nobody else ever complained and the code is there for
2 and a half years :-)

Thanks for you corrections!

Bye,
