[STR New]

Get an Segfault on cupsd 1.3.5 after svn-7067, probably due to changes in
cups/ppd.c. 
The error occures only, if enough printers are avalaible. Cupsd produce an
segfault in chunk_alloc() in libc. I've tracked down the problem to ppd.c,
but not found where exactly is the cause.
One more indication for a memory-leak due to ppd.c is the tool cupstesppd
who will crash also, if used with multiple ppd's, e.g cupstestppd
/usr/share/cups/model/*.ppd.
