Sounds like just certain randomizations have print errors. I'd use
PGRD to look at the versions of the problem these students have and try

<font size=3D"2"><big>I think the error messages on the What's New page

generate bombs. The problem still works, it just can't print so no

coordinator, author, or both. If printing errors do get forwarded to
the Course Coordinator, y
