That is really a bit of a pain... Well, I took the pain on me and I
entered all problems related to the CUPS cource code into your webform,
off course with source code patches added.
We really do care about quality and security, so we want to see these
patches go into your software before the rc2 release. The plan is to
have a fine 1.1.23 (final) in OpenBSD, but without the bugs the software
has at the moment.
I did not post the other patches that are needed to build and run this
software on OpenBSD but only the real C bugs. str 1035 could lead to a
buffer overflow, btw.
