[STR New]

In bug report STR #2056 (fixed in CUPS 1.2.6), user "twaugh.redhat"
reported high CPU loads when printing with the parallel backend on Linux. 
In the resolution, "mike" said this problem only applied to Linux.  I
encountered exactly the same problem on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE for AMD64. 
Looking at the patches attached to STR #2056, I modified the #ifdef
__linux block (lines 192-209) in parallel.c so it would open the device
using O_WRONLY on FreeBSD. I recompiled, reinstalled, and the problem went
away.

I request that the developers modify parallel.c to compile the same on
FreeBSD as it does on Linux.

Thanks.
