lpd seems to exit after long periods of idleness

Once a day or so, “lpd” seems to exit, leaving the “lpd.lock”
file in place. This seems to happen when nothing has been
printed for a few days. Anyone seen this?

I assume it doesn’t leave a corefile in /var/dumps?

No, “lpd” just quietly exits, leaving its lockfile set.

Just for fun, here’s our core dump collection for
standard QNX components:

mmplay.core
mozilla-bin.core
named.core
phlip.core
voyager.core
helpviewer.core
on.core
Photon.core

If anybody wants any of these, let me know. These
are all from stock 6.2PE on x86.
