[STR New]

Printing from cups-1.5.0-19.fc16 client to cups-1.3.7-26.el5_6.1 server.  I
have MaxRequestSize set to 200000000 on the server.  If a job larger than
that is submitted on the client it is rejected with:

but the job keeps being retried immediately over and over again.  On one
machine this produced 35GB of error messages in around 30 hours and about
1.5GB of logs on the server filling up /var.  I've attached a sample error
log from a test with a smaller file and a smaller limit.

I guess I don't see any reason to retry the job on this kind of error.
