I recently installed the polling lp driver.
It seems lpr works fine by itself, but when I pipe
something to it, it causes the machine to reboot.:-(

I rebuilt lpr,lpd lpc etc... and the libutil library
as well as "pr" and boom it still reboots.



$ pr file.c | lpr

It prints the first couple of lines of the file and
then reboots.

Anybody hit this one or know of the fix?
Perhaps there is something I didn't rebuild that I
should have.

Thankyou
