Good move -- that stack looks suspicious but it does clearly point at
SSL.

Eek! ;)

Everyone appears to think that libgnomecups has something to do with
printing in GNOME -- all libgnomecups does is wrap the CUPS printing
service API in GObjects.

libgnomecups isn't involved here (its only used by gnome-cups-manager)
and if libgnomeprint was passing bad data, cupsys shouldn't crash.

Hopefully a non-SSL'd stack will tell us more information.
