I have fixed this in CVS now. Please test in every mode.

Yes, but it was more complicated because the 16 bit modes didn't work
at all in must_buffer mode. See CVS. I removed support for the 16 bit
three-pass modes which didn't work anyway. And three-pass scanners
that support 16 bit won't be too common :-)
hand-scanner mode with 16 bit should work, however.

A backend can define it's buffer size to e.g. 15 bytes. Or read can
return an odd nu,ber of bytes. It can happen any time.
I think I found a solution for this in CVS. Please test.
Bye,
