That usually means that you compiled static libraries and not shared
one. So all the SANE backends are linked to XSane on all are started.
In the case of shared libs, only the ones mentioned in dll.conf are
run.

You didn't by accident run configure with --disable-shared or
--enable-static? Check the filesize of xsane and look if its linked
dynamically against libsane (ldd).

If it's not linked statically, check dll.conf and disable all uneeded
backends.

Bye,
