Thank you for your report with the patch. I got already two other reports about
this (but without fix) on the linuxprinting.org forums.

I have fixed the bug on linuxprinting.org now, so you can already replace your
/usr/bin/foomatic-rip by

http://www.linuxprinting.org/download.cgi?filename=foomatic-rip&show=0

Please test and report whether this works now.

I will soon put a new foomatic-filters package onto the Cooker.

This is a bad bug.  In /usr/bin/foomatic-rip, the current code causes foomatic
to go into an infinite loop that eats up memory until all the virtual memory is
exhausted and the computer locks solid requiring reboot.
