Under Novell 2.15, there is some sort of problem related with pconsole when
used on a server with rprinter printing in use via the pserver VAP.  I
don't know whether it occurs also under 3.1, but if it does someone might like
to tell us.  For some reason, if you are adding or deleting print queues from
a server, and possibly some other operations also, the entire server can crash.
It's too hard to test this given users need access to a server without this
happening so I can't pinpoint it.  If anyone has experienced this and knows
why it's happening, I'd love to know!

Cheers,
+Mark.
