Looking at that section of code, lpd is just doing:
	if (ifilter < 0)
		status.w_retcode = 100;
	else
		while ((pid = wait((int *)&status)) > 0 &&
					pid != ifilter)
			;

followed by some code which would not modify 'status', followed by:
	switch (status.w_retcode) {
	case 0:
		break;
	case 1:
		unlink(tfile);
		return(REPRINT);
	case 2:
		unlink(tfile);
		return(ERROR);
	default:
		syslog(LOG_WARNING, "%s: filter '%c' exited"
		    " (retcode=%d)",
		    pp->printer, format, status.w_retcode);
		unlink(tfile);
		return(FILTERERR);
	}

If you got 'retcode=108' (not 100), then lpd is just printing out
the status as returned by 'wait()'.  I don't see any recent changes
to that section of code in lpd.
