  I would recommend to install a recent version of the SG driver (2.1.36
  for example) from http::/www.torque.net/sg. It supports the change of
  the buffer size at program run time; if you use one of the last CVS
  snapshots of Sane, you can select the buffer size by setting the
  environment variable SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to the desired buffer size (in
  bytes). But beware: If your try to use "really large" buffers (roughly
  more than 1 MB), it can happen that the kernel cannot allocate this
  buffer. And if my memory is right, the Mustek backend restricts the
  buffer size to 64 kB for some scanners. But don't ask any details, for
  which scanner and why...
