One of my older machines has a UMax 1200 SCSI scanner on it. Three years ago, I upgraded it from RedHat 9 to Fedora Core 1. Two weeks ago, I upgraded it from FC1 to SL5. When I tried to use the scanner yesterday, the machine froze hard; it wouldn't even respond to the reset button, I had to pull the plug.
After frobbing around a bit, the cure was to delete the .xsane directory (probably originally for RH9) in my home directory, and let the current version of xsane build a new one. It irks me that a user-space program can lock up the machine (that is so, so M$ ), but at least there is a cure.
