Title:
  cups crashes on SIGHUP if printer classes are defined

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
