[sane-devel] saned doesn't release the parallel port when finished

Hi,

I have now installed the 1.0.13 RPM build for SuSE 8.1 on my box and it
appeared to work in that I could do a scan.  However I've since discovered
that it isn't releasing the parallel port when a scan is finished (snip
from /var/log/messages at the bottom).

I have a Mustek 1200CP (CIS) scanner on parport0.
I have saned running from inetd.conf as sane.sane and the /dev/parport0
has crw-rw-rw permissions.

Can anyone give me an idea what is going wrong?
