It seems that the contents of `print_buffer', which is declared just
after `being_printed' in print.c, is corrupted by the following part
when print_depth == PRINT_CIRCLE.

  /* Avoid infinite recursion for circular nested structure
     in the case where Vprint_circle is nil.  */
  if (NILP (Vprint_circle))
    {
      for (i = 0; i < print_depth; i++)
	if (EQ (obj, being_printed[i]))
	  return;
      being_printed[print_depth] = obj;
    }

I tried to move the following part to just before the above one, and I
could compile CEDET 1.0beta2b.

  /* Give up if we go so deep that print_object will get an error.  */
  /* See similar code in print_object.  */
  if (print_depth >= PRINT_CIRCLE)
    return;
