The print statement is being output before the document headers are.   
Without the print statement, you are getting a content-type of text/ 
html, which causes everything to run together since the lines are  
separated with newlines instead of <br> tags.  When you add the print  
statement, you are preventing the headers from being delivered  
correctly to the browser, and either the web server or the browser is  
deciding that since you didn't specify a content-type, it's going to  
default to text/plain.
