cups-polld crash on AIX and Solaris

My initial post about cups-polld crashing on clients AIX or Solaris is
still unresolved.

I've configured an AIX 5.2 system as a CUPS server and an AIX and
Solaris clients. The clients are still crashing the same way as if they
were polling the RedHat CUPS server prior. The problem I see now is
narrowed down to the clients polling.

The AIX client, when cupsd starts, it forks off cups-polld and starts
to receive 1 or 2 printers then it crashes or receives a SIGTERM. This
is consistent across 3 AIX clients I've installed CUPS 1.2.1 into.

On Solaris systems, when cupsd starts, it forks off cups-polld and
starts to receive much more printer queus, up to 400+, but then it also
crashes with SIGTERM. This is also consistent with 3 Solaris clients
I've intalled CUPS 1.2.1 into.

A client running CUPS 1.1.23 works fine polling the CUPS 1.2.1 server
and it's able to print and cups-polld stays alive.

I've not gotten much attention and response to this issue but I think
there's a real problem here that needs to be addressed.  An STR was
issued previously but I don't think it's been assigned.

Is there anyone else out there testing a simillar configuration? ie; an
AIX or Redhat CUPS server and an AIX and/or Solaris clients all running
CUPS 1.2.1 and having simillar, or not, results?

Any suggestion or comments is appreciated.

Thanks!
Angel
