lisp or draw error



Hi,

I have made batch file using draw package ( see the code at the end of 
post).
For some values of epsilon:
epsilon:0.01
I got error:

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
  Error in FORMAT [or a callee]: Can't print a non-number.
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

It happens after execution of draw2d , so program works.

For other values
epsilon:0.001
program works ( and draws points).

I have found ( google) that it may be gcl error.
Am I right ?
