[Bug 39484] Re: cups smb printing backend no longer works

[mannheim]

Erich, this bug is about the smb printing backend, as the title clearly
says.  The bug description is a segfault in the process launched by
/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb. That file is a symlink to smbspool.

The segfault in smbspool is easily reproducible by the one-liner "echo
something | smbspool 99 me test 1 ", as described in my earlier comment.
Any fix for the segfault in smbspool is a fix for this bug.

Indeed there are probably other bugs in smb at present; and indeed, some
may have the same underlying cause as this one. But Adam's earlier post
addresses that and should allay concern.
