*Correction :* 

   - /usr/bin/maxima, the “standalone” version of maxima provided by Debian 
   testing, runs without error : 

(%i3) t:taylor(g, x4, 0, 8)$ (%i4) 
   
   - /usr/local/sage-10/local/bin/maxima, “our” version of Maxima, fails to 
   compute the Taylor series : 

(%i4) t:taylor(g, x4, 0, 8)$ PQUOTIENT: Quotient by a polynomial of higher 
degree (case 2a) -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true); (%i5) 

Ticket underway (slowly).
