The file calculus/calculus.py, which is what should be responsible for all typesetting of symbolic objects, contains exactly one instance of \\cdot (around line 2700). Try removing that and letting us know if the behavior is acceptable to you; if so maybe we'll just remove it. > 2) I'm manipulating rather large (10-20 terms numerator and denominator) > rational functions with the new symbolic support.

Any ideas about what might be going on (or how to find out)? It's some bug with either parsing data that is output by Maxima, or with how maxima is interpreting something we give it. The only way to fix this is for you to post an example.
