OK, that makes sense. Your real time is shorter than mine, that's
probably because you have more memory (256MB is quite tight for a
machine running apache2, MySQL, samba, etc.)

I have no idea, must be something related to the binary format. I've
seen this before, but I can't remember a solution at all.

Commercial software is unpredictable, SANE 1.0.8 failed on the same
SunOS machine on which 1.0.9-pre2 did just fine -- some weird i/o
error (!) in the middle of one of the backends. If I performed the
same steps as make does by hand, it worked (as far as I
remember). That was 100% reproducible.
