For the sake of completeness...
Printing man pages with lpr (e.g., man X | lpr -h) would cause a
reboot. The problem was solved by recompiling lpd. This may only be
necessary if kvm.c was patched (e.g., after applying David Greenman's
kvm.c patch). I am also using Haug's lpt patch from agate, and Chris
Flatters' patch to lptprobe() in lpt.c.
