GatorPrint (print serving software from Cayman Systems for their GatorBox)
crashes the entire GatorBox when it receives print jobs from AIX3.1 pl3002.
The same files printed from a Sun and a Pyramid through the same GatorBox
prints fine.

Is there a way to find out exactly what print-job packets contain when
sent by lpd/qdaemon to a remote machine?  This information could help
Cayman engineers figure out why the box crashed.  Why would these packets
be any different than lpd packets sent by any other BSD Unix machine?

Thanks.  --Tim
