Use the test system ;-)
I attach a minimal test case which verifies that 'print.text' produces
expected result on the first run. I think you can tweak it to check that 
overriting really happens. 

I'm not sure this should make into regression suite, but in general, tests are 
good. We even have docs, in test/test_system.html.
