I recall sending an update to my report around midnight (-0800) last
night, but it doesn't appear to have reached the list.

I did try modprobe and the scanner is now recognized by sane-find-scanner.

That was a typo in my message. I did use -d. Now that sane-find-scanner
finds the scanner, I still get the segfault with that command. This is
on Linux 2.4.19.

I see the firmware file name for the X7? scanner in the source code.
There is no file on the X83 CDs with a name anywhere similar. And grepping
through all the files on the CD did not find any useful instances of "OSL".
I still hope someone will be able to send me the proper file.
