[sane-devel] loosing contact to scanner (warmup problem?)

hi, after my scanner has been on for a couple of days,
including xsane running the entire time.  no restart, no reboot.

a scanner is still found in /proc/bus/usb/devices (see below),
but sane-find-scanner can no longer find it, and xsane can no longer
connect to it.  and after sane-find-scanner no longer finds the
scanner, then /proc/bus/usb/devices no longer knows what kind
of scanner it is.  notice earlier the lines 
S:  Manufacturer=AGFA
S:  Product= SNAPSCAN e40  
appear in /proc/bus/usb/devices, but afterward they no longer appear
there....
NOT EVEN modprobe  scanner vendor=0x06bd product=0x208d
fixes the problem.  i believe it starts working again, if i reboot
and then run modprobe  scanner vendor=0x06bd product=0x208d

# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.
