Hello Helge,

We are currently not in harry with this (moving to cups 2.0.2) but I
would be happy to give it a try and help testing. I could test on SLES 11,
on Solaris SPARC and ofc on FreeBSD too. I'm back from short vacations
by end of February.

Thanks

La referencia de la Duma a la anexión de la RDA, en este caso al contrario con la Crimlía sin
referéndum, no solamente tiene gracia sino da en el blanco.-
