Well, that was it.

I used ktrace -i and kdump and found out that the daemon was dying on
one of the print files that I had queued up during the NetBSD 1.0 stuff.
I moved all of the print files to a sub-directory and reprinted them.
Everything went great after that.

Spooky.

Thanks for the help.  Everything seems to be working now.
