libusb, latest version packaged in Debian PowerPC. same if compiled 
from source.
The crash is that the variable usb_busses (or what it points to) does 
not seems to be properly initialized.
Note: if I use Debian package for libsane (and also gphoto2) I have the 
same problem. I'll dig into it further when back home and give you much 
more details, including stack-trace.
sane-find-scanner also crashes.

I thought about that solution. I just wanted to avoid it. May I file a 
RFE ?
