Hi Henning and Hans,

Right, the error sounds like the snapscan backend tries to read more
data with one command than supported by FreeBSD. But setting
SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE is only useful for Linux; for other operating systems
Sane has no support for changing the maximum buffer size for SCSI data
-- the backends must use 

"grep sanei_scsi_max_request_size snapscan*.[hc]" does not return any
results, so I guess the bug is within the Snapscan backend. Perhaps it
simply tries to read entire scan lines with one SCSI command; in this
the limit of 65536 bytes can easily be reached for higher scan
resolutions.
