Scanner: Canon Lide 200 Sane-driver: genesys With sane-backends-1.0.25-r1 everything looks fine. Updating sane-backends to 1.0.27 produces a green vertical bar on the scan result.

Created attachment 514774 [details] 1.0.25-r1 (ok) vs. 1.0.27 (broken) Another example of the bug.
I tried to find the breaking commit by bisecting the code from the git repo. Things turned really mysterious quickly. If I had one successful scan, all the following scans would be OK no matter the version. If I had one broken scan, all the following scans would be broken no matter the version. I realized I had to restart my computer every time I compiled a new version to get a real result. This seemed to work for a while, until I realized it wasn't enough - I started to get mixed results after searching for a while. Then I started re-plugging the scanner after every reboot. And suddenly, the problem went away. I just did a fresh reboot, plugged in the scanner, and, using the sane-backends-1.0.27, I did a successful scan. This is all very strange as the problem seemed to be 100% reproducible yesterday. I also have had it always since upgrading to 1.0.27. I will try a few more times if I find something, but at the moment, I'm baffled.

In the meantime you had even patched the ebuild. Just tested it, works like a champ. Thank you very much!
