Julien?  ltrace cannot follow dlopen(), how does one go about debugging a
sane backend?

I have provided full symbolic information for the backend, but it appears
that there is no easy way to access it.

Manolis, running scanimage with MALLOC_CHECK_=2 and a suitable ulimit -c
that allows for coredumps *might* produce a core.  If that doesn't work,
we'll have to draw in the big guns.  Please install eletric-fence, and
try to run 

export EF_PROTECT_FREE=1
LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so.0.0 scanimage >foo.pnm

See libefence(3) for details on eletric-fence.  I have never tried using it
on arm, I sure hope it runs there.  It will eat memory like crazy, though.
