Yes, and applying the provided patch in the 1.4.3 sources fixed the problem.

Interestingly: we have a lot of CUPS 1.4.3 installations in the field and
this problem never showed up before, only during a re-boot of one of the
servers. One should never re-boot servers :-)

Thanks for your hint in any case
