Tim, this is part of your Avahi support patch. Can you have a look into this? Thanks.

There's no useful stack trace so it's hard to tell, but it might well be to do with one of your changes to it which stored a pointer to a local automatic variable in a global variable and referenced it after the local variable had been taken off the stack.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672143. Here's the patch I used to fix that.

Thank you for the patch. I have applied it to the BZR repository of the CUPS package at Debian now, so the next CUPS package at Ubuntu will contain the fix.

    overcomes the problem that USB-to-Parallel adapter cables do not
    report back a usable ID string. With these changes it is at least possible
    to use one adapter cable per computer if the cables do not report unique
    serial numbers via libusb and any number of adapter cables if they do
    report serial numbers via libusb. Real USB printers can always be used,
    also if there are other printers connected with an adapter cable
    (LP: #468701, LP: #564917).

  * debian/local/apparmor-profile: Explicitly deny access to ttyUSB* to
    silence noise. This is presumably an extra control channel for some USB
    printers, but cupsd can't use it anyway. (LP: #692892)
  * ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Drop reloading of Samba. It didn't work in some
    cases, and is better fixed in samba's upstart script (start cups in its
    pre-start).
  * debian/rules: Set LC_MESSAGES=C to avoid breaking the test suite in
    non-English locales. This is a temporary fix until it is resolved upstream
    (see http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3765).

[ Kees Cook ]
  * ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Use AppArmor profile loading helper. (LP: #690040)

Can everyone who is suffering this bug try Ubuntu Oneiric (on a live CD or on a virtual machine) with all updates (check whether you have CUPS 1.5.0-7, close and ignore the crash pop-up of oneconf-query, it is bug 856576) and check whether it still occurs there? If so, you should get a crash pop-up. Please do not close it. Follow the instructions until the browser opens. When it asks you whether the bug you want to report is one of the listed bugs, open a new bug. After submitting the new bug report, wait until the retrace gets attached. Only after that mark that bug a duplicate of this bug. Post the bug number (preceded by the word "bug" so that this is made a link) in a comment here. note that it is very important that you have the newest CUPS, as it has a fix in the handling of debug symbols. Any older version of CUPS does not produce a usable retrace. Also take care to submitt the crash report of cups and not of oneconf-query.
