[sane-devel] Network connected scanner, i/o error if scanner is idle for longer then 40sec

[Paul Newall]

I have been digging down into the code, and adding extra debug output.
In my network read function kodakaio_net_read it seems that poll(...) is 
indicating that there is data to read, but sanei_ tcp_read(..) then 
returns zero bytes.
If there was no data I'd expect poll to timeout, and if there was some 
data, sanei_ tcp_read should return it?
But this is the only network read code I have ever written in c so I am 
not too confident it is correct.
