Has anyone seen this problem.

I am running LPRng with print queues that redirect the received files to
another platform (using a non-standard delivery program) usingan output
filter script. This all works fine but the following test case causes a file
being queued to lose its Hfa... file.

1.  Submit a large (100MB) file to LPRng using WIndows NT lpr.  
2.  Submit another large file (100 MB)  to LPD using WIndows NT lpr to the
same print queue as #1.
3. When both files are nicely being received (temp files created for data
and control and HFa.. files created), submit a small file to the same print
queue from Window NT.

When the third files has finished processing to the other platform, the
cleanup process for file #3 will cause the HFa file for the second file to
disappear which causes a problem as that file is still being received. When
the file is fully received, the file is orphaned without a matching HFa...
file.

The trace files seem to indicate a problem with lpd_jobs.c in that the
cleanup process thinks that the file being received is in the error state
and deletes it. Only the Hfa file is deleted as the control and data files
still have temporary names.
