As a workaround, disable sm3600 in dll.conf if you don't need it.

sane_init in the sm3600 backend calls usb_init(), usb_find_busses()
and usb_find_devices(). I can't find any obvious error. For me it
looks like the bug is either in libusb or in a deeper layer of the Mac
OS USB system.

Yes, the sm3600 problem has been reported. I'll add it to README.darwin.
