[STR New]

I found that cupsd kept crashing.  I narrowed the problem down to the
/var/cache/cups/remote.cache file (attached).  If I copy this file to
another machine as /var/cache/cups/remote.cache, cupsd also crashes on
that machine.

To cause the crash:

1. Install attached remote.cache
2. Start cupsd
3. lpstat -s

[root at hoopoe cups.backup]# lpstat -s
no system default destination
lpstat: Unknown
lpstat: Unknown
[root at hoopoe cups.backup]# lpstat -s
lpstat: Unable to connect to server

This is completely repeatable here.
