 Some of the outputs have a name such as foo(...). However, the postscript
 generation does not add an extra closing parenthesis after the foo(...).
 Example from attachment on line 410.

 ((447)modifyEdge.newEdges.(...) show

 This should presumably be:

 ((447)modifyEdge.newEdges.\(...\)) show

 Output from ps2pdf:
