Looks fine.

Oh well. Either a hardware problem (too slow to react?) or a kernel
bug. Check the linux-usb-users mailing list for this one, I remeber
that other people had similar problems, but not with scanners. Maybe
that's a problem with your USB chipset, but I don't remeber the
details. It doesn't seem to be an issue of the scanner module or sane.

Yes :-) For the details, consult your distribution's documentation. A
rather drasti way is to renam the /sbin/hotplug program to something
else.
