Hello.  I've been running sane (1.0.7) from Debian stable for a long time
and recently upgraded to sarge, which contains 1.0.15 of libsane.
Fortunately I never ran at a high resolution with the old version and it
worked well.  Since I've upgraded I've had a couple of problems.  One is
that as the scanner runs, I can hear what sound like pauses and the
resulting scan is missing small slices.  See this photo for an example:

Also when the scan has completed and the scanner is driving the CCD back
into its parked position it's making a fairly loud "clunk" at the end that
it did not used to.

I was a little concerned that the old driver had messed the stepper motor
up (the timing seemed pretty suspect though, coinciding exactly with the
software upgrade!) so I grabbed another (commercial) app's trial version to
make sure it wasn't the scanner.  Here is the scan from that:

No horizontal lines...  Any known issues with this combination?  Should I
file a bug report either with Debian or somewhere else?  Let me know if any
additional info is needed.

Thanks,
	Dale
