Thanks for confirming, though it's not good news really as the chances
of getting the C code to recompile pyscand.so are minimal.  It's a
piece of code provided by OKI and I don't really think I'll be able to
get the code out of them.

Even more annoying is that most of what's in pyscand.so is constants,
there's only a couple of functions in there, so there's very little to
it really.
