Hummm, its hanging on this:
[dll] load: couldn't open 
`/usr/lib/qt3-gcc2.96/lib/libsane-epson.so.1' (No such file or 
directory)
No longer exists on this system
[dll] load: trying to load `/libsane-epson.so.1'
[dll] load: couldn't open `/libsane-epson.so.1' (No such file or 
directory)
[dll] load: trying to load `/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epson.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/local/lib/sane/libsane-epson.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `epson'

Commenting everything but plustek out in the dll.conf file now gets 
me an instant 'no scanners found' message replacing the former hang 
on the incompatible (gcc-2.96) epson driver.

Has epson re-released a new driver for this now?

See my previous message, I think its the kernel, as attempting to 
list the fs/usb stuff in /proc takes long enough for the ice cream 
to start dripping, about 40 or more seconds for each usb port.  
Thats very odd.  I'm building the next one up now.
