A couple of hints:
1/ That you try with the latest drivers available (iscan 2.29.1 and iscan-
data 1.17.0) which were released a day ago. The plugin package for your
scanner model is older (12/2011). If you already have those installed,
then forget it.
2/ That you try to use a different program for acquiring the images
(e.g., The GIMP or any other app that supports TWAIN) to check if it
crashes in the same way.
And remember there's also the "sane-devel" mailing list which I think is
worth a try:
