lpd problem

OS:  Sun 4.2 Unix  Release 3.2

We've tried recently to bring up our imagen spooling software on our
new Sun workstations.  Our problem is that the line printer demon /etc/lpd
gets fired up, chews up a lot of CPU, and never successfully execs any of
the imagen filters.   When compiled without the initial sequence that
divorces itself from the invoking user and /dev/tty (i.e. compiled with
-DDEBUG) and run manually, everything works fine.  I've done a gcore
of the lpd demon when it gets stuck and find that it is somewhere inside
the print() subroutine apparently in an infinite loop within close().
Any ideas?

Also, while I'm at it,  does anyone know why telnet from 4.2BSD on a Vax
to the Sun misbehaves?  I find I have to always type ^J rather than a return
to terminate a line.  I've played with setting and unsetting CRMOD without
success.     Thanks -- ...!decvax!hanauma!stew or na.levin at su-score.arpa
