OK, I will let them know.  But I am wondering if it could be due to a 
timing/integrity issue surrounding the cups configuration files. If CUPS 
has the file open when it starts, and the host is rebooted before CUPS 
closes it, perhaps one or more of its configuration files has lost 
integrity by the time the system comes back up?

If so, then this could be a more generic problem.  OTOH, SL uses 1.4, 
which is a bit downrev to begin with.   An upgrade might well address 
this issue.
