[cups.general] title missing since update

Hi,

since we updated to SuSE 10.2 and cups 1.2.7-12.1, the title
in our backend script is empty. The client sends it (the 
original filename): D:\...\foo-filename.pdf

I checked this with tcpdump and ethereal (follow tcp stream):

.ARCHIV
..159 cfA157BLACKBOX
.HBLACKBOX
PAdministrator
fdfA157BLACKBOX
UdfA157BLACKBOX
ND:\...\foo-filename.pdf
...16478 dfA157BLACKBOX
%PDF-1.3
...

Our backend relies on the filename. 

I tried to search for a solution quite long. Any help?

Snippet of backend.pl:
($job,$user,$title,$copies,$options,$filename)=@ARGV;

/var/log/cups/error_log:
D [10/Aug/2007:14:44:28 +0200] [Job 8836:m] job=8836

D [10/Aug/2007:14:44:28 +0200] [Job 8836:m] found 1 files

See: title is empty. Why?
