[Bug 857663] [NEW] cups crashes on SIGHUP if printer classes are defined

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ray Link (rlink):

Affects:  cups 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.5 on Lucid.

Ubuntu releases with a cups derived from 1.4.4 or later are unaffected.

Known bug in CUPS 1.4.3, fixed in 1.4.4.  When cups receives a SIGHUP
(for log rotation, restart, etc), the cleanup routines free pointers to
printer policy info, but then later try to dereference them.

See attached patch directly from CUPS's svn repository.  This patch
contains the fix exactly as it made it into mainline cups 1.4.4.  Patch
has been tested against cups_1.4.3-1ubuntu1.5 and works.
