[TriLUG] dnsmasq dying

[Cristobal Palmer]

Sorry I didn't get back to the list earlier.

While I didn't isolate the problem, I did eliminate it for now. It was
a problem with a windows client. This makes twice that I've seen
network printing on windows bork dnsmasq.

Oddly/unfortunately, both the core dump and the ktrace ended up being useless.

If you've seen something like this before and have some pointers
(other than "don't let windows handle printing") that would prevent
something like this from coming up again, please do share your
experience with the list.

If I were a policeman this would've been me finding the safehouse
where the crooks were hiding, but not catching the criminal. I'd love
to catch him.
