Description of problem: CUPS 1.3.4 dies suddenly on Fedora 8 with a SIGSEGV when Samba 3.0.26a tries to submit a job. The problem can be narrowed down to a single line of code in CUPS 1.3.4 through 1.4-current SVN (available through the CUPS site). It affects more than just Fedora 8, although this is the system where it was discovered. Please refer to CUPS STR #2599 and #2600 for more details. STR #2600 contains details for commenting out the offending line of code to work around the issue temporarily. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.3.4-2.fc8 samba-3.0.26a-6.fc8 How reproducible: Attempt remote printing from another system through any Samba printer. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the configuration specified in CUPS problem report STR #2599. 2. Print to any defined Samba printer from another system. 3. Make sure the job attempts to spool. 4. Watch for a SIGSEGV in dmesg. Actual results: dmesg: cupsd[20156]: segfault at 00000004 eip 0045e153 esp bfb67064 error 4 Expected results: Printed pages Additional info: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2599 http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2600
