apsfilter 5.4.2 does not work with 'raw' print queue


I just installed apsfilter 5.4.2 and now cannot print from Windows
machines via the raw print queue. Windows is apparently sending the
print job as there is a connection to the raw service for several
minutes. Here is the tail end of the samba log file

[2000/05/15 22:11:26, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(535)
  puter (192.168.1.2) connect to service raw as user glenn (uid=1000, gid=1000)
 (pid 1154)
[2000/05/15 22:14:10, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(568)
  puter (192.168.1.2) closed connection to service raw

In this particular case it was just a one line test print job so that is
a really long connection time.

There was no output from the printer and nothing went into the spool
file.

I noticed this breakage on a machine at work so on my home system I sent
a test print job with apsfilter 5.3.3 installed and printing worked
fine. I then pkg_deleted that and installed apsfilter 5.4.2 and then I
could not print from windows.

I have not done a send-pr yet because I do not know what the problem is
but I wanted to make you aware of it and thought you might have a better
idea.

Thanks.
