[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#521314: cupsd crash: "double free or corruption"

[Dave Holland]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1
Severity: normal

cupsd crashed with a glibc error: "double free or corruption".

This is a fairly busy system, with 133 printers configured. As such, I
don't know the sequence of events immediately before the crash. I haven't
seen this crash before and don't know how to reproduce it.

I've attached the backtrace excerpt from /var/log/syslog.

thanks,
Dave
