  I have an Epson 1240U and upgraded to Slackware 8.0 last week, but
  everything works fine for me, just as it did under Slackware 7.1 (I run
  sane 1.04). Try to recompile sane 1.04 and see if it works ?

  Note that the libs under 8.0 have changed significantly, which may
  explain the segfaults.
