Standard TCP/IP issue. If you're dropping packet, the connecting side
has no way whatsoever to know that and a very long timeout will
eventually be reached. No problem here.

There's no reason why XSane and scanimage would behave differently,
except maybe if you tried scanimage after XSane. It'd be nice if you
could try it again both way around and track the problem down, if
there is any.
