[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#497492: cupsd: Child exited on signal 13!

That's where the error message is coming from, specifically
avahi-compat-libdns_sd/warn.c's avahi_warn_linkage().
It appears to be intended to trigger for anything using that API.

OTOH, for a packaged distribution like Debian I think a mass bug
filing would be more appropriate (against any package depending on
libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 ).

(I'm not going to set this as "forwarded upstream", upstream
aren't going to fix it.)
