  This is a problem inside the Linux kernel. The panic occurs in the
  aha1542 driver, if the program using the driver has declared a maximum
  buffer length of more than 32768 bytes. The problem is fixed with the
  most recent SG driver (http://www.torque.net/sg). With Sane 1.0.2, you
  can also avoid the kernel panic by either setting the environment
  variable SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to 32768 or by running configure with the
  parameter --enable-scsibuffersize=32768.
