I also (sometimes) have this problem with gnome-cups-icon getting into a "spin-lock" taking ~100% CPU.
The strace output only shows _many_ copies of these two lines:
[pid 5604] recv(16, "", 2048, 0) = 0 [pid 5604] time(NULL) = 1148885860
where the time slowly increases (about 8000 copies of those two lines before the time counter increases by one!).
After hitting C-c on the strace call, gnome-cups-icon has the attached open files - note that file descriptor 16 is
gnome-cup 4734 patrikj 16u IPv4 12465 TCP localhost.localdomain:39757->localhost.localdomain:ipp (CLOSE_WAIT)
/Patrik
PS. My system is a Vaio laptop with ubuntu dapper updated yesterday (060528).
