Subject: pap on Solaris 2.5

Versions:
	Sun SS5/170 or SS4/110 (2 installations)
	SunOS 5.5 + a lot of patches (not 2.5.1)
	netatalk-1.4b2 (no patch)

Problem: sometimes, pap enters an infinite loop.
But the printer is idle!
(as shown with 'truss -p <pap-process>).

It's very annoying because the printer is allocated
to the Sun netatalk driver, so Mac boxes can't
access the printer. Killing the pap process
releases the printer, and Mac boxes can then print.
