scanimage -T doesn't do much different then scanimage >/file. It's
just stops the scan before it's finishe.

The logfile doesn't show anything unusual. The file even seems to be
closed, but the call to sane_exit seems to be missing.

SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=255 saned -d128

may show some more debug messages. Run scanimage as above.

In short i believe it's a backend (mustek_pp) problem.
