My guess is that somewhere within maxima there is a plain lambda expression
that should have been wrapped inside a (coerce <s-expr> 'function)
that isn't.
In CLtL1, which gcl supports, a list starting with LAMBDA is a
function. That's no longer true, I think, for Common Lisp.
This isn't easy to find because maxima often builds these functions
using (list 'lambda <stuff>).
Perhaps a backtrace from clisp will point to where the problem is?
