New versions of lpd(8), spd(8) and hpd(8) have been installed. Changes
include a minor cleanup and proper handling of the case where the device
cannot be opened. More significantly, the daemons no longer fork with the
parent exiting immediately. The effect of this change is that it will
now be necessary to explicitly put the process in the background when
restarting a daemon (e.g. `/lib/lpd &'). This seemed like a small price
to pay for the increased efficiency.
