cups-base Crashing Gnome apps

[Michael Pope]

I have a problem with cups under FreeBSD5.4.  In abiword, gedit and 
inkscape I get the same error when going to print when I have the cups 
daemon enabled.  It crashes the application.

I've recompiled cups, gedit and inkscape to the latest builds and with 
debug symbols turned on.  Below you will find my correspondence with Joe 
Clarke (gnome maintainer).  He instructed me that this was more CUPS 
port problem and nothing to do with inkscape.

I have got programs such as firefox printing correctly through cups, so 
it's all working there ok.

I'm not completely sure how to do a backtrace, I've read somewhere that 
all you have to do is type:
$ gdb inkscape inkscape.core

Here is the output of that command:
$ gdb inkscape inkscape.core

Let me know if this is the wrong way to do it, and if you need any 
testing or more info.

This is a crash in cups, not inkscape.  You should collect a full
backtrace, and contact the cups-base maintainer, and probably the CUPS
authors.
