[cups.general] cupsd keeps dying whenever configured to BrowsePoll

Hi,

Is there a known problem with cupsd dying whenever it does
a BrowsePoll? I'm noticing that cups-polld is orphaned by cups
and the server is not running. Noticing this with both
server client as compiled on SunOS5.8 using source on www.cups.org

and client (Ubuntu Dapper) polling sunos5.8 server as configured above.

ps. It would seem that one has to have Browsing On whenever BrowsePoll
is set.
Is this a deliberate design? How does cups-polld works. Does it forward
any packets
it gets to the local subnet or to the server directly?
