Yep, I can confirm this from xsane (pressing the preview-button with something
like a4-portrait selected as size) :-(

Even stopping a preview scanning on xsane (to prevent the grinding noises that
happen if the scanhead tries to scan outside the scanner) gives me a signal-11.
Hmm. Not yet end-user safe...

I'll send my findings to the maintainers of sane and xsane as time permits.
