Not sure what you meant by linelist code, but this may help.
Did you read a thread about this before and did that help?
The Debian alpha porters complained about one line which killed lpd
and I reported it back here.
Line 189 in src/common/vars.c
/* allow LPR to make direct socket connection to printer */
{ "direct", 0, INTEGER_K, &Direct_DYN,2,0},
It says initially STRING_K which is wrong. I'm not sure if it is
supposed to be INTEGER_K or FLAG_K.
After making this change I've not heard back from the alpha folks
since. And porters are usually quite vocal about works on i386 but not
on my architecture type of bugs :)
Here's the bug report with the fix.
