With the last version it also tried to pull the film holder further into 
the scanner than physically possible. I heard loud bangs and clicks from 
the scanner as it was desperatly trying to pull the film holder further 
inside. I pulled the plug on it in a hurry and fortunately nothing was 
damaged.

Vuescan is definitely not recommended for this scanner!
