EVALUATION 4744405 RFE implementation is not thread-safe. CUPSPrinter.isCupsRunning() is being calling concurrently from different threads, hence crashing on connect call.

WORK AROUND -Dsun.java2d.print.polling=false eliminates the issue.

EVALUATION This bug caused by 4744405 fix, the memory location free'd twice so the second time it crashed. Checked the fix, we only changed java code on unix platform, so I think the problem comes from native libaray. But we need to address this in java.
