Please also give us the details for the cs-list error which occurs when you run 
"make check".

Regarding the cs-list error you encounter when printing, I'd like to see the 
line where the error occurs. What does the following return.

        system (sprintf ("grep -n \"^\" %s | head -n 415 | tail -n 50", which 
("print")))
