Bug#764472: cups creates millions of temporary files when printing

It happens twice to me printing from chromium using print system dialog
box. Killing the scp-dbus-service process stopped the symlink creation. The
bug doesn't occur all the time and I haven't noticed what triggered it. The
first time it happened ext4 ran out of inodes. To see the symlink names, I
used

ls -Uf /tmp | head -100

To delete

find /tmp -type l -name 5543\* -delete

The size of my /tmp directory is now very large even with the symlinks gone:

drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 983302144 Oct 17 10:46 /tmp


Cheers,
