Since the recent update of CUPS, I've had problems with it
crashing/hanging every day on my SL44 machines.  One common symptom is
that "lpq" will hang.  Restarting CUPS fixes the problem.  The
versions of the CUPS packages installed on an affected machine are
shown below:

sirtommy 14:17% cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux SL release 4.4 (Beryllium)

sirtommy 14:16% yum list '*cups*'
Loading "kernel-module" plugin
Loading "versionfix" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Beginning versionfix
Ending versionfix
