I couldn't figure out what was wrong with linus, but something is
definitely wrong.  It seems that nothing has worked since "lps40comm"
dumped core about 5 hours ago.  I have no idea how to start lps40comm,
and I've forgotten the command to restart linus, so I left it broken.
I did, however, disable the queue so no more users would be fooled
into thinking that their files had been printed.  (Blanket was
silently ditching the jobs without sending them to linus... or wrongly
thinking that it has successfully sent them to linus.)

Well, there you have it.  It's odd that with all these ancient gods of
myth, Linus and his Blanket are the things I find the most arcane...
