Cups daemon dies on some time of inactivity

Hi!

I use cups on my Solaris and Linux server. 

On solaris 8: cups-1.1.21rc1 copiled by myself.
On linux Suse 9.0 Kernel 2.4.21: cups-1.1.19 from suse

I  found  often that the Cups daemon dies some times silently, no output
in any log.  My workaround has been to restart him with cron every hour,
but today he has left 10 minutes after restart.

Here is the error_log:

Problem  is  that i had software which uses "lpr -r -P printer file", so
the files are deteted but not spooled!

Is this problem known?

TIA
