I've seen exactly similar and it has been due to other processes running on
the same computer, grabbing CPU or interfering with disk writes to the work
file and causing corruption in the scan. Unfortunately I can't now remember
the exact circumstances when Vuescan used to do it, but that is where you
should be looking IMO.

Try (a)making sure you have plenty of empty, contiguous disk space
(b)removing any other running programs. Try running MSConfig.exe to stop
startup progs and services. Wintop will show you all active threads.
