Using the latest version of libusb from CVS (or the binary packages from
2004-01-05) has been reported to fix the problem that scanimage -L does
not see the scanner unless the DEBUG environment is used.

The following gdb log of the state of scanimage at the time it freezes
after a scan was provided by a user having a Canon N670U scanner that
uses the Plustek backend on MacOS X.

To me it looks like the reader process has finished and is waiting to be
killed, but the main process is still trying to read from it.

Note that the patch in the bug report
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=300434&group_id=1308&atid=410366 

has been applied here, in order to avoid calling pthread_cancel which is
broken on MacOS X.
