Hi Robert,

Thanks for the response. I'm using Maxima 5.13.0 out of the Ubuntu
8.04 repository. Here is the version printout.

--
Maxima version: 5.13.0
Maxima build date: 3:56 12/15/2007
host type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
lisp-implementation-type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
lisp-implementation-version: GCL 2.6.8

I am running newer versions of Ubuntu at home and it's possible those
have a different version of Maxima. I'll try running there as well.

I'm new to the Sage and Maxima communities. Is there a protocol for
reporting these types of errors? I'm more than willing to help debug,
although I'm probably not much good for patches as I'm not familiar
with either sources yet.

Best,

Bryan
