This is more of an FYI than anything as it has probably always been broken. At least from reading the SANE list it appears scanning with a BusLogic card (BT-930, BT-950, and BT-958) on an SMP machine causes random but frequent lockups. One person's machine would crash any time he touched a non-Hard Drive device attached to the controller.
The solution thus far has been to just buy a new SCSI card... I'm going to toy with the driver to see if I can figure out what is going on but my device driver coding is extremely limited. Chances are my BT-958 will be forsale on ebay shortly :)
Hmmm. I ran a BT-932 (dual BT-930) in an SMP system with an HP Scanjet 4C for many months using XVScan and I never had a single lockup. Are you sure the scanner in question worked properly with the BusLogic cards? Scanners have tended to be particularly problematic as SCSI devices, often using substandard interfaces and cabling.
