OK, Patrick, I took your suggestion. At first I had trouble because the
!@#$% bug wouldn't manifest itself no matter how many times I reran it.
But later on it happened again. Moreover, I got it to happen with
lpc -D1. I then tried lpc flush, and the message remains unchanged.
I tried both "lpc msg testlprtr" and "lpc msg testlprtr ''" (as you'll see).
Again, any help is appreciated.
I'm appending output (I added linefeeds before commands for
readability) & then your response, after the sig. I hope the debug out
put may say something to you - it doesn't to me.
This is RedHat 7.2,
LPRng-3.7.4, Kerberos5, Copyright 1988-2000 Patrick Powell, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(which came with the OS), for whatever that's worth.
Thanks again.
