OK, I've done what you suggested, and the interface works with this 
tmprint.b. (I get the same warning
*** fluid `lispsystem*' cannot become global
twice after the line "Loading ...").

redfront cannot be the source of difficulties: of course, I disabled it in 
tm_reduce. My current tm_reduce is

#!/bin/sh -f
export TEXMACS_REDUCE_PATH="$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins/reduce"
export reduce=/opt/reduce
export MACHINE=linux
export lisp=psl
export gnuplot=$reduce/wutil/$MACHINE
exec $reduce/lisp/psl/$MACHINE/psl/bpsl -td 128000000 -f 
$reduce/lisp/psl/$MACHINE/red/reduce.img

By the way, your README (or tm_reduce or both) should be corrected: in the 
form contained in your reduce.tar.gz, tm_reduce will start reduce via 
redfront, with (probably) very negative effect.
