There was an issue in scanadf that was fixed about a year ago:

Also:

You might be experiencing this issue.

You could try to rebuild scanadf from latest source. If you need help 
with that, let me know.
Alternatively it might be worth disabling the genesys backend first by 
commenting it out in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf if you are not using a 
genesys-based scanner, to see if you are experiencing that issue.

Cheers,
