After installing LPRng on AIX i found that lpstat often coredumped,
and when trying it out on a linux system it coredumped as well.
The problem I narrowed down to line 346 in lpstat.c where the loop
test is not testing for end of string, and therefore some byte
in physical memory after the Printer_DYN string is modified.
Testing for both t and *t may be an overkill as testing for *t
alone would terminate the loop long before testing for t would.
