Yes, that fix allows me to build Octave 3.3.90, but it doesn't fix the cs-list 
error, pasted below.

octave:1> plot(randn(10,1))
octave:2> print('-dpng','test.png')
warning: print.m: fig2dev binary is not available
error: invalid assignment to cs-list outside multiple assignment
error: matrix cannot be indexed with {
error: evaluating argument list element number 3
error: called from:
error:   /Users/campbell/Downloads/octave-3.3.90/scripts/plot/print.m at line 
390, column 11

Make check also reports a cs-list error but does not crash like it does in 
3.3.55.
