Don't know if it's your problem, but...

I seem to recall that pfPrint uses forward slashes to display the
complete paths of the nodes it is visiting. As it is traversing the
graph, when it backs up a level, it pops the text off the end of the
printed path by backing up to the last forward slash in the path. If
any named nodes in the DWB database have forward slashes, they will
cause the path printed by pfPrint to gradually get more and more
confused as it traverses the graph.

I haven't done this in a while, so it might not be the case now, but I
do remember gradually renaming a lot of nodes in a few dwb files a few
years ago...
