Sent to bugs & hotline because it could be a problem either with 
the setup for linus or with lpd.  This is the output of two 
successive lpq's (note the disappearance of one of "tuna"'s jobs
between the two [he did not do an lprm]):

Both jobs were printed, but the "submitted" times on the cover pages
differ by 10 minutes, even though the jobs were submitted about a 
minute apart.  Some other odd behavior was observed around this time 
(i.e. queue re-ordering).
