Two 2.0.10 problems?

I don't know whether either of these have been fixed in 2.0.11,
but I suspect they haven't. Comments welcome:

1) I ran 'strings /proc/kcore | less' once and the system seemed
to die horribly. Someone might want to check this out, but I'm
not sure if it's reproducible because I'm not willing to try
it again :)

2) The lp driver seems to behave badly when my printer is turned
on. I'm using an HP DeskJet 540. Basically, when the driver
is installed (I've seen the same behavior via module or built-in
support), it will say

lp: Driver configured but no interfaces found.

instead of

lp1 at 0x378 (polling)

In short, the driver only starts correctly if I have the printer
off when it starts. This is a bug, right? :)
