Hi Dan,
can you merge the patch from #4180, export SAGE_PEXPECT_LOG=yes and
run the some doctest that tends to do something stupid until you hit a
bug? Then put up the interesting log in $DOT_SAGE/pexpect_logs
(depending on how many there are list them by age (ls -altr) and pick
the last one). clisp-2.47pre4 won't happen tonight for 3.1.3.alpha1
since I need to do a lot of testing of it and Maxima 5.16.3 before I
want to put up the spkgs and I plan to catch some zzzs in the not too
distant future.
Cheers,
Michael
