Dear GAP Forum, the problem reported by Mathieu Dutour is due to a recent code change. It will be fixed in the next GAP version.
(For those who are interested in the details: A Boolean expression for testing whether the function 'PrintFormattedString' can already be called had been extended in such a way that 'true' is returned before the function is available. Therefore the error happens after the function has been declared and before it has been installed.) Thanks to Mathieu for reporting this bug, and sorry for the inconveniences.
