Ok. So you sent the logfile when both xsane and saned were still
running? In this case the log file looks ok. Can you please retry and
after the scan, close xsane? saned should also closes itsself. Thanks.

As far as I know it doesn't start a child process. However, it uses
the gtk facilities to call the read function when data is available
(something like select(), I don't remember the gtk function name.
There has been trouble with that, but I think it looked differently
(freezes of the scan or cancel process).

If there is an error that causes the scanner not to be detected
anymore, I guess it must be visible in the saned or backend log. If
that fails, we can look at tcp logs later.
