>Description:
man 8 lpd says:
The file minfree in each spool directory contains the number of disk
blocks to leave free so that the line printer queue will not completely
fill the disk. The minfree file can be edited with your favorite text
but usr.sbin/lpr/lpd/recvjob.c doubles the value read from minfree
to convert kBytes into 512 byte blocks.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. man 8 lpd
2. grep minfree /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr/lpd/recvjob.c
>Fix:
Replace blocks by kBytes in man page for lpd.
