	Hello,

	it seems to me that the "read-length-zero" will only work for the first 
read of the first scan. If the frontend keeps the backend dll loaded, the 
option won't work for the next scans. Returning a zero length from sane_read 
must depend on the set blocking mode. See section 4.3.10 of the SANE's 
standard?
	Regarding this help text of the option, there isn't any requirement on 
the content of the buffer when a zero length is returned.

Regards,
	Stef
