[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#632710: cupsd[1299]: segfault at 0 ip b74d3440 sp bfeb9d18 error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7460000+140000]

[Erik Thiele]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7

after long running, and at a time where probably no print job is
running, because it is before work hours, cups suddenly segfaulted
without leaving a trace in any of its logs. but i found this in my syslog:

Jul  5 06:25:32 joe kernel: [853885.282133] cupsd[1299]: segfault at 0
ip b74d3440 sp bfeb9d18 error 4 in libc-2.11.2.so[b7460000+140000]

i'm sorry, i don't know how to map that address to lines in code.
