I've checked in a fix that prevents the traceback; however, that does not appear to be the main problem.

ok i am a real lightweight but i have done some work and this is what i found

on this release CUPS does not start!
i found a post on the forum

sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start

and it worked on 7.04 and 6.10(live cd) and i could configure my printer ( if i knew the admin password and username for a live cd)

but on gg tribe 5 live cd
i get this message
"cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation"

hope this helps some?
