thanks

This bug is still present, and shouldn't be closed until it is fixed.

That doesn't even make any sense. If I were to open a separate bug
report, it would just say the exact same thing that this one does. If
I had an unrelated issue, I would have opened a report for it.

Here is an exerpt from my system:

As root:
ALPHA:~# dpkg -l | grep cups
ii  cups                               1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii  cups-bsd                           1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman
ii  cups-client                        1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro
ii  cups-common                        1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - common fil
ii  libcups2                           1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
ii  libcupsimage2                      1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs
ii  libcupsys2                         1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System (transitional pa
ii  libgnomecups1.0-1                  0.2.3-2                     GNOME library for CUPS interaction
ALPHA:~# /usr/sbin/cupsd -f
-- end

And then, in a user terminal:
wk at ALPHA:~$ lpstat
wk at ALPHA:~$ lpstat
lpstat: Unable to connect to server
-- end

Note that the first one works, but the second one fails. Hence the
title of the bug, "... exits after serving one request."

Here is the root terminal after cups crashes (after the first lpstat):
ALPHA:~# dpkg -l | grep cups
ii  cups                               1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii  cups-bsd                           1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman
ii  cups-client                        1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro
ii  cups-common                        1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - common fil
ii  libcups2                           1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
ii  libcupsimage2                      1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs
ii  libcupsys2                         1.3.8-1lenny1               Common UNIX Printing System (transitional pa
ii  libgnomecups1.0-1                  0.2.3-2                     GNOME library for CUPS interaction
ALPHA:~# /usr/sbin/cupsd -f 
/usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/cupsd: undefined symbol: _httpEncodeURI
ALPHA:~# echo $?
127

As I noted before, I have purged all of my cups packages, removed
everything cups related from /etc/, and then re-installed. This
bug is still there.

I would be happy to help any way I can. core dumps, trace files,
backtraces, any tests you might want me to run. Just ask. I must
say though, that I am becoming somewhat frustrated from repeatedly
re-opening this bug.
