[cups.bugs] [HIGH] STR #1968: cupsd hangs in infinite loop taken 100% CPU when using "lpstat" or when trying to print

[STR New]

In two distributions there are bug reports about CUPS 1.2.3 hanging. The
problem did not occur with 1.2.2.

Mandriva: http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=25186
Ubuntu:   https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/cupsys/+bug/59542

Looking into the error_log (LogLevel debug) I can see that the scheduler
falls into an infinite loop. I have to restart CUPS to break the loop.

See more details and observations in the two cited bug reports.
