CUPS definately hosed

[Paul]

Hi,

I've done another reboot, took ages to get past starting the cups server
(which it eventually did), but looking in var/log/messages, I saw this.

Other processes killed include such favourites as modprobe (and that's
it - though it was killed 8 times!).

Is this related to cups and if not, where is it from as I think it
should be in bugzilla rather than my desktop.

Something *is* up with cups though. If I try to use system-config-
printer, the entire machine locks up, lots of HD thrashing and no
action. I have to switch the machine off to get things working again.

Very annoying!
