This fixes the only pipe handling bugs that I can see. In the 'normal' case, pipes were already closed properly in that patch.

I am not able to reproduce the issue. I tried a standard USB printer and a file:// target, tried on the command line with and without specifying a host, tried printing from a Gnome app (gedit), and played around with administrative commands in the web interface. None of these actions produced additional FIFOs (just the two that are always open, and an additional one when a print job was running).

Do you use remote or local printing? Can someone please attach /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/printers.conf, and maybe even a detailled recipe for reproducing this?
