I'm not sure if it's the same problem, but there is the following
entry in the ChangeLog:

2002-11-13  Ulrich Deiters <ukd at xenon.pc.uni-koeln.de>

	* modified the Canon SCSI backend (now version 1.10):
	* backend/canon.c, canon-scsi.c: Added support of focus control for
	  the FS2710 film scanner.
	  backend/canon-sane.c: Set handler_arg in sanei_scsi_open() calls
	  to zero to avoid crashes with Mandrake Linux 9.0
	  
	  
So I guess the next SANE version may work. If you don't want to work
you can try the latest snapshot from
http://www.meier-geinitz.de/sane/snapshots/

If this works for you, can you please tell us? Maybe the Debian
maintainer wants to apply the patch used in the canon backend in the
Debian package.

Bye,
  Henning
