[Image-SIG] PIL and Sane

[abel deuring]

Hi all,

could anybody successfully use the Sane module from recent PIL versions? 
I tried both the one from PIL 1.1 and 1.1.3 -- but with both versions 
every call of SaneDev_snap fails with a segfault.

Looking into the source files, two details puzzle me especially:

1. SaneDev_snap does not return any object; the function even does not 
allocate a PIL Image object.
2. While SaneDev_snap from PIL 1.1 at least calls sane_get_parameters 
(but does not use the data returned by this Sane function in any way), 
the version of this function in PIL 1.1.3 even does not call 
sane_get_parameters.

How is all this supposed to work? Or am I missing something?
