Yes we are. I use Sisyphus. I upgraded it last time by March issue.
May be the probable source of mistake is that I use AMD processor (duron-750 on k7vza motherboard)?
I will try to check it on Intel PC.

I'm quite wonder that nobody noticed it. In maxima.el I had

(defcustom maxima-info-dir "/usr/lib/maxima-5.6/info/"
  "*The directory where the maxima info files are kept."
  :group 'maxima
  :type '(directory))
So I corrected it to the right path. This maxima.el is taken from cvs directory.
