It seems the RedHat print filter contains the following lines:

          if [ ${i##*:} = "DONE" ]; then
             if [ "$DEBUG_FILTER" != "" ]; then
               echo "$root -> depth = $depth" >> /tmp/filter.debug
             fi


and these

#
#   define these to gets lots of feedback
#   output is appended on /tmp/filter.debug
#
    DEBUG_TREE=""
    DEBUG_FILTER=""


You're safe unless you enable debugging.
When you do, you should be careful though...
