439 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
440 often unreliable.
441 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
442 "crashed".

445 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
446 printer had other reasons associated with it.
447 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
448 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
449 (STR #3084)

486 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
487 its jobs.
488 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
