This is excellent news. Was this bit of code executed only on Solaris, and not linux or OS X? I'm not at home now (sitting at Liverpool Street Railways Station after missing a train by 45 seconds!) I have no ssh access to my own machine, but I'll look at the patch within the next 6 hours or so and will report back. Is there a test-suite of some sort for Maxima (outside that in Sage of course)? If so, I'd like to run that at some point, just in case there are Solaris-specific issues that arrise. Unfortunately, due to its relative popularity compared to Windows, Solaris always suffers less testing that other operating systems. (It's also very noticable that Mathematica is more buggy on Solaris that linux or Windows. It is simply not tested as much - either by WRI or their user base). Anyway, I must go. Going to grab a coffee and get the next train home.
