Could you try with scanimage?

and also set debug environment variables before starting the application.

$ SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 skanlite
or
$ SANE_DEBUG_BROTHER=255 skanlite
(this environment variable is a guess it could be SANE_DEBUG_BROTHER2)

But I'm afraid this is probably not a Skanlite bug.

My guess is the brother driver:

I hope you can file a bug to Brother.

Could you do the same with scanimage?

$ SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 SANE_DEBUG_TEST=255 scanimage

So far it all points to some problem with libsane-brother2.so.1
Could be a compiler version problem: sane, skanlite and libsane_brother2 compiled with different compiler versions.

Unfortunately I do not have SuSE installed nor a Brother scanner.

The next step after this would be to compile libksane...

Przerwane
jacek@jpsdesktop:~>

I try downgrade libksane0 from 4.2.0-68.14 to 4.1.3-4.7 and one time skanlite start, but crashed when I try do preview scan. Next time don't start.
I also try same programs (skanlite 0.2.kde4.2.0-9.5, kooka 3.5.10-1.61, xsane 0.996-0.pm.1) run under IceWM and all works. I can place logs. 

> Przerwane

If I googled correctly this indicates some kind off error.
which means that also scanimage crashes :(

This is a really weird bug, but now I'm 99.9% sure that the error is not in Skanlite or libksane.

Since the scanner is "connected by network (LAN)" I wonder if KDE 4.2 somehow interferes with the network...

I'm sorry I can't help :(

I tested (on OpenSuse 11.1 and Fedora 11 Alfa)

kdesu skanlite
kdesu kooka
kdesu xsane

 and scanner works correctly. Probably, there is error in permissions to... (I don't know for that) in KDE 4.2 because before upgrade (kde 4.1.3 on OpenSuse 11.1) all works for "normal" user.
