Still not enough information.

We need the configuration files that are causing the crash.

It looks like this might be related to STR #2703 - leftover garbage in the cupsd.conf file is causing the crash.

I have asked the original reporter to attach his config files.

But note also that a broken config file should not make cupsd segfaulting. It should give a decent error message in error_log.

Again, agreed that we shouldn't crash, but we need to know WHY we are crashing so we can fix it.
