No matter what, I would strongly encourage you to write to the Maxima mailing list about this. Before doing that, make sure to download the latest version of Maxima and try to replicate the issue directly in there. Here's how to replicate this directly in Maxima: deep:sage wstein$ sage -maxima ;;; Loading #P"/Users/wstein/sage/install/current/local/lib/ecl/sb-bsd-sockets.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/Users/wstein/sage/install/current/local/lib/ecl/sockets.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/Users/wstein/sage/install/current/local/lib/ecl/defsystem.fas" ;;; Loading #P"/Users/wstein/sage/install/current/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" Maxima 5.23.2 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp ECL 11.1.1 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
