Package: foomatic-db-engine
Version: 3.0.2-20060712-1
Severity: normal

If my ~/.cups/lpoptions contains a line as follows, "foomatic-configure -Q"
grows in memory until it gets killed by the kernel's OOM_killer. The line
in question is:
Dest biglexrv/texte copies=1 outputorder=normal number-up=1 page-top=30 
page-bottom=30 page-left=30 page-right=30 wrap=true position=center PageSize=A4 
Duplex=None Resolution=default PreFilter=No

FWIW, if I edit the line to replace the forward slash to an underscore
("Dest biglexrv_texte ..."), "foomatic-configure -Q" works as expected (but
the line becomes meaningless).

The line was generated by gtklp (printing tool for CUPS on the GNOME
Desktop).

As for severity, I leave it to normal since a random user is unlikely to
need foomatic-configure, and root is unlikely to have a .cups/lpoptions
file.

Cheers,
