We will fix these problems eventually, I just can't guarantee how long
it will take. Thank you for your reports.

To file a bug, go to <http://maxima.sf.net>; and click on "Project Page".
On that page, click on "Bugs". On that page click on "Submit New". I'll
leave the rest as an exercise to the reader.
