I see this too.
Curiously though 0_40_10 made the light on my UT12 go on, and then cause a
system hang.
0_40_11 doesn't even seem to make the light go on before hanging.
Noteworthy perhaps as well is that when using the device /dev/usbscanner I get a
system hang, and when using /dev/usb/scanner0 (both devices are configured the
same, as both device files, and in /etc/sane.d/plustek.conf) I only get
scanimage segfaulting on me. I don't know if this is of consequence, so ignore
it if it isn't useful ;-)
I've never done a kernel debug/trace thing before. If someone can point me at
the right resources, I'll give it a go to see if I can help. It might be, errr,
"fun", or something ;-)

I'll try this later to see if I can duplicate it (on a different machine,
though... I have just ext3'd all my filesystems on my main linux box here... as
well as having other reasons for staying up to date kernel-wise)
